Dimension Text Placement

larry.smith — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 02:59:34 GMT

Creo Parametric 2.0 M050

When placing a dimension in drawing mode. Once you make the final click to add the dimension. The dim text defaults to the center between the arrows. See image

Is there an option to disable this snap functionality?

Thank you

Larry

There is not any config.pro option that I know of, but you can temporarily disable this automatic positioning by holding down ctrl+shift.

Few other tips to handle dims are documented here: http://www.ptc.com/appserver/wcms/relnotes/note.jsp?&im_dbkey=135457&icg_dbkey=826

Jakub,

Thanks for the information. However, when I select Ctrl+Shift that puts my session into "Orient Mode".

Can you revisit that response please.

Larry

Larry, Isn't this 'Orient Mode' specific only to model environment, and not to drawing mode?

I can't tell for sure right now, but what i can tell is Ctrl+Shift doesn't put you into any mode if you load Creo Parametric 2.0 in it's default settings. In the drawing mode at least.
