dual dimensioning values are the same 1

[testarossapete]

I just started a new job using Wildfire 2.0 and this company uses inches with dual dimensions in a high low number which is on the top or bottom acording to dimension. Of course the tolerance's are all diffrent too. I am re-drawing hand drawn parts to Pro and I would like to do it right if possible rather than over ride and type in the numbers. I have set, in properties to inches and have dual numbers but they are both the same. I have a lot of models to create, can sombody help?

Find a copy of the Detail Drawing Help Topic Collection guide and check your .dtl file or drawing options for settings that begin with 'dual'.
It sounds like you have primary and secondary units both set to inches.

Thanks for your reply, it is set to inches on both because that it the way they set their tolerance here. For instance: 12.260
over 12.240 or 3.1355 over 3.1366. I drew the part at the mean which is what comes up when I dimension a feature but I need the numbers done like above both in inches. I did do the @oxxx and it looks fine but I thought there should be an easier way.
Thanks,
Pete

Are you using dual dimensioning or just a high/low tolerance range? Dual dimensioning usually means you are displaying dimensions in 2 unites, inches and mm, for example.

If you want to show your dimensions as high/low limit values, then set the following drawing optons.
tol_display Yes
tol_mode limits

You do NOT want to override the model nominal values with the @oxxxx format!
