Question

Cannot get fractional dims to show in just inches, not feet-inches, see below.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 3.0 and DatecodeM050

I am trying to show fractional dimensions in inches, not feet-inches. For example, 1' 5-3/4" = 17-3/4".
I have tried changing config-pro and I can't seem to find the right option.
In the Dimension Properties window, the Nominal Value shows just inches. Why doesn't it show up that way on the drawing?
Is there a way I can get it to?

Here are the errors that I faced
None

File/Prepare/Drawing Properties

In the dialog box, select 'change' next to Detail Options.

Select 'find' and search for use_major_units.

 

This should be set to 'no'

    Hi AJ,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I actually tried that, and they still came up as feet and inches in the drawing. Even though it showed just inches in the Parameters.

    Is there something else I need to do?

    Thanks,

    With the drawing open,In the drawing setup files under

    file - prepare - drawing properties - detail options change 

    verify use_major_units NO

     

    In the config.pro, verify use_major_units NO

     

    open the model that the drawing refers to  

    under file - prepare- model properties-detail options -change 

    verify use_major_units NO
