Drawing question

[2433]

Hi all,

- Any one know how to change the symbol "Diameter" before the numbers to the word "Diameter" after the numbers.

- How to change the Detail view Scale 1:8 to Scale 1.5" = 1'-0"

Thanks guys

Both will have to be done manually. They are not (as far as I know) part of any "mechanical" standards. You can set up a Dimension Favorite for the "Diameter" inclusion, but you will still have to delete the "Ø" prefix manually.

SW is primarily geared toward mechanical engineering products, not architectural. The 1.5" = 1'-0" scale format is part of an architectural/civil standard.

& all the best.

I agree with CBL.
Also, adding "diameter" at the end is a very old practice. The prefered way, also per drafting stds, is the symbol before the dim.
