Dimensioning Problems - TRUE?!

Whenever i try to dimension a radius or diameter of a part in a drawing, i get "TRUE O.45" or "TRUE O2.20". My drawing doesnt have enough room to be cramped up with 100 true's, is there any way to possibly get this off.

Hi uridial

The problem here is that the system only puts in the word TRUE if the dimension is added to a view in which the plane of the arc is not parallel to the plane of the view.

If you do all the dimensioning in a normal orthogonal view you wont see the word TRUE unless the circle/radius is on a sloping surface as seen in that view.

Sadly I dont know of any way to avoid the TRUE entry when the circle or radius is being done 'out of plane'

I did scour the 'Format Standards' and 'Format Dimensions' but could not find a reference which might get rid of the pest which most international standards say should be there.
