Hole Dimension Table (Interactive Drafting)

[TopGuns]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know how to change the number of decimal places within a Hole Dimension Table? I need to show trailing zeros within the table.

Thanks

Hi,

Change the precision before you create the table.

Precision field is grey then have a look in tools/options/ drafting

go to Administration TAB

Use STYLE values to create new objects = OFF

This did not work for me. However I am more interested in how to display the trailing zeros with the coordinate dimension table.

anyone have ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Which CATIA level do you use ?

Hi,

V5 R2 or V5 P2 Rxx....

P stands for Platform, P1,P2 or P3 usually P2 (student version P1) ; Rxx is the Release, R14 is current one

Check in Help/About CATIA V5...

INDOCTI DISCANT ET AMENT MEMINISSE PERITI

I believe it is V5 P2 R13. In Help/About it Catia is says:

CATIA Version 5.13. Service Pack 6. Build Number 13.

In tools/options the user interface style is P2 (not sure if that is the same as platform level)


Thanks.

Hi,

So it should work...

1) select points
2) change the number of decimal
3) clic the function to get coordinate in table
4)...

Trailing zero are added manually in R12 SP4. I don't know if you can define that in a parameter somewhere in R13.

Yeah I know, just like all the other drafting functions - but for some reason it doesn't.

I tried exactly what you said and I still don't get trailing zeros. I've alsow tried selecting the table after placement and tried to change the decimal place drop-down box and it makes no difference?

It's not a huge deal, I just happened to come across this thread and wondered if someone knew how to get this to work because I had tried every obvious thing I could and it still wouldn't work.

Try changing the dimension style to the ASME standard instead of ANSI. That should allow you to use trailing zeros.
