Display model units on drawing

Display model units on drawing

There is no good method to display the model units (length, mass, etc.) on a drawing or in a drawing Repeat Region (BOM table).

1) DOD/Aerospace/Space products. ME Tools administrator. Mechanical Engineers and Designers.

2) Creo Parametric 7.0.

3) Currently when units are called out on a drawing they are manually set using dumb text and are independent of the model units. We benefit from being able to automatically display the model units on the drawing title block (table cell) and in repeat regions.

4) Reduced human error in correctly displaying model units in the drawing.

5) Difficult to quantify. Errors have occurred or been caught during the checking process. Implementing this would reduce engineering reworkand required checking time.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Thank you

Creo knows the model units.  It just needs to expose these as parameters that can be referenced and displayed wherever users so desire.
