Two Values in Model Edit

[jeinberger]

Hello:

Creo 2.0.....I select a feature on a model, right-click and select the Edit option. I get two dimensions, which actually frame the current value I am trying to change. Example; a 35.00 dimension displays as 35.01 and 34.99 below it. And when I change one/both, the feature does not update.

This feels like a setting, but as an intermittent user, these are the things that trip me up.

Thanks,

Joe

My guess is that you have a drawing assigned to this part.

change the value in the drawing then regen

You need to click on the dimension properties and set the dimension display back to nominal from limits. Then you can change the value. I get frustrated by this a lot on older designs.

Thanks Ben. That did the trick.

And this is an old training part.

If you upgraded from an older version of Croe/WF, the dimensions were defaulted to Limits. You need to go in and change them to Nominal.

Thanks, Dale

Thanks Dale, I'll look into that.

You're welcome.

Wasn't there some sort of configuration option (special hidden just for this) that would change all dimensions to nominal when opening old files.

I have a lot of old Pro|Engineer files that open like this too.  A real pain to fix every dimension manually.

It's seems like you & I have talked about this before:

Tolerance mode: Nominal vs Limits

From what you posted it look like in Creo 2.0

(still on WF5.0/Creo)
