Dimension leader attaches to geometric tolerance box instead of dimension

[SShashi]

hi All,

I face a weird problem in solidworks 2014 drawing with the geometric tolerance box attached to dimension. when i specify a geomtric tolerance and attach to a dimension, the arrow points to the geometric tolerance box instead of the dimension. does anybody face a similar problem?? any solution? attached a screenshot of the issue.

Hi. I couldn't reproduce this exactly, but if you right click on the dimension, go to Display Options and click Define by Geometry, then go to the Feature Manager and Justify your arrows, then go back to Display Options, and click Define by Hole Wizard, this might be a work around. I've noticed that my Justify doesn't work with Hole Wizard callouts. Sylvia

Nope... doest work.. still the same.. thanks for trying felix7502..

It appears that this may be ISO related. Are you using ISO standard? I switched from ANSI to ISO and could reproduce your problem. Maybe this will help if you talk to your VAR. Sylvia

 

[SShashi]

yes.. i am using ISO standard. I changed to ANSI, now justify for hole callout doesn't work.
Anyways thanks again.

Mine seems to work fine... check your bent leader info on your dimensions. See Attached

Thanks Sbaugh.. found out the problem... i did not set the overall standard to ANSI... instead had set only the Hole callout to ANSI.. now it works fine..

I dont know if this is a problem with Solidworks 2014. we are using ISO standards all the time and it was working fine with solidworks 2012. Now upgraded to solidworks 2014 and this issue arised. any comments?

Thanks
