Value of display_tol_by_1000 in 3D Dtl file is unexpectedly read from 3d_inch.dtl instead of dtl file configured by config.pro option model_detail_options_file in Creo Parametric
Modified: 26-Apr-2018
Applies To
- Creo Parametric 3.0 F000 to M160
- Creo Parametric 4.0 F000 to M040
- Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0
Description
- In Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 (and earlier), behavior controlling way how tolerances were displayed in ISO models (millimeters or microns) was driven by config.pro option display_tol_by_1000
- Starting from Creo Parametric:
- it is now controled by 3D DTL file as documented in article 109290
- config.pro option still exists but is intentionnally not effective anymore (refer to article 94001 for further information)
- Upon retrieval of legacy models however, value of display_tol_by_1000 in 3D Dtl file is unexpectedly read from system file provided by PTC below:
<Creo Parametric Load Point>/<datecode>/Common Files/Text/3d_inch.dtl
- This behavior is not expected when using config.pro model_detail_options_file pointing to another 3D ISO DTL File
