Description

  • Difference between dimension types d, ad, add and dd
  • Difference between dimension types dxx, adxx, addxx and ddxx, where xx is the dimension ID
  • If a particular drawing is saved using "save as" and some dimensions are erased in the file thus saved, changes are applied to the original file.
  • Creo 7.0 If the dimension is manually marked, the geometric tolerance cannot be placed on the dimension line like the displayed dimension. Is there a good solution?
  • Geometric tolerances and datum annotations in two-dimensional drawings cannot be attached to dimension annotations.
  • After modifying the 3D model file, the location of dimensions are changed in 2D drawing.
