All,
I currently have a family table showing a component in several different positions. In one case, the component is in the POSITIVE direction with respect to a datum plane. In another case, the component is in theNEGATIVE direction with respect to the same datum plane.
Everytime I verify the family table, the instance where the component is located in the NEGATIVE direction flips to the other side.
This is becoming quite frustrating.
I think that there is an option in CONFIG.PRO that deals with NEGATIVE numbers, but I cannot find this option. Any suggestions????
I am using Wildfire 5.0, M060.
TIA.

Hi Neal,
I think this is what you are looking for:
https://www.ptc.com/appserver/wcms/standards/ssl/freefull_cskdb.jsp??icg_dbkey=900&im_dbkey=94714
The column header should have a "$" prefix to indicate an absolute value.
You can also set config.pro option show_dim_sign=yesif you want to displaysigned dimension values.
Hope that clears up the annoyance!
When I create a negative I get the attached message. If I pick Convert the column to control absolute value, ProE puts a dollar sing in front of the dimension symbol. You used to have to do this manually.
