Is it possible to execute a dimension update without losing tolerances?
Shouldn't the UPDATE reflect the tolerencing setting of the current dim style?
Yeah, I think that is what it is set to do.
My grief lies in wanting something different.
I am changing the dimstyle of several dimensions, each with different ranges.
After doing the dim update, I am losing the ranges.
I use dimstyles to control everything except the tolerance values.
Scratching my head here, tolerance values controlled by styles do not work
for everyone.
Dim update changes the arrows, extension lines, etc. It blows away the
tolerances.
Wouldn't creating a dimstyle for each tolerance/arrow config. do it for you?
Then "Update" the desired dimensions per style.
Either that or do "dimoverrides" and update specific ones as you to along .
Just a thought.
I personally would go with different dimstyles (but that's me)
A different dimstyle for each tolerance band.
Maybe a wishlist item for a master dimstyle ?
Each dimension has a different tolerance, how would a dimstyle be useful?
I do not have repetitive tolerance bands.
1 style per each dimension? That would be
There must be another way.
Good point. The way it is entered makes no difference to me or the end user.
It may look strange to a cad jockey though.
Side note: I might have to show a deviation as +6 -1, instead of stacked.
I may just enter a wishlist item after all. Dim update could have a setting
that allows the tolerances to remain.
(you poor b@$tard)
I don't know allot about tolerances ('cause I don't use them)...
But every tolerance is different than every other tolerance?
You don't have say "a handful" of tolerance scenarios?
I just don't understand why a handful of dimstyles wouldn't do it.
(sorry if I'm being a dub)
