Diameter sign in dimensions

[geertdaenen]

Hallo,


when I've made in my model a threaded hole (in WF3) and I will get the dimension of this hole on the drawing of this model, there always appears a diameter sign before the dimension.


e.g.: I make a model with a M6 hole, when I put the dimension of this hole on the drawing (with the show/erase-feature), this dimension-note is

a work around I know of is over ride dim just put an "o" after the @ in the dim properties text box.

ex

instead of @D

put @oM6

Use Show/Erase and select "Note" instead of dimension.

That will give you the M6 Thread information (tap, drill, depthetc)

After showing it you can right click on the note and "edit value" to remove what you don't want.

just for your own info the @O command to overide the dimension text only works for created dimensions not shown dimensions.

You can just delete the Dia. symbol and it will not show up. The only required part in the dimesion text is the @D which it will not let you delete.

do a forum search for ".hol" which is a table for your hole feature. there are already some good threads on how to modify the default note that is shown.

If you have created the hole with the hole tool, a not has already been generated and attached to the hole with all of the information necessary for manufacturing.


When you show the dimensions, make sure you show the notes also. You should get an M6x1 (or .75 - the pitch) ... note. This note incorporates all of the hole data: size, class, series, depth, pre-tap drill.


It looks like this in edit mode:


&METRIC_SIZE &THREAD_SERIES - &THREAD_CLASS &STD_HOLE_TYPE &VAR_THREAD &THREAD_DEPTH
&NUMBER_SIZE DRILL ( &DIAMETER ) &VAR_DEPTH &DRILL_DEPTH -( &PATTERN_NO ) HOLE


or


M6x1 ISO - H TAP THRU 5 DRILL (5.000) THRU - (1) HOLE.

I know that it's possible to use the notes. But I don't want to use notes.
But my first question was: how I can erase the diameter-sign automaticaly. I know that in our WF2 there was no diameter sign.
I know that I can erase it manualy, but I don't want to do this for every hole.


Can anybody give me a usefull hint.


Thanks

If you find no better solution, you can create a mapkey which does replace the diameter sign by an "M". You can even select several dimensions and do it for all of them.

I don't there is a setting that will allow you to that automatically. You don't have to modify the dimension properties individually. If the dimensions the selected are all holes you can multi-select the diameter dimensions and remove diameter symbol. However, the reason for not being able to automatically remove it is probably due to you're talking about a thread note vs a dimension. Hole dimensions will include the diameter symbol a thread note does not.
