I have read most of the posts on this site, and they mainly seem to point to the nomials for the actual feature changing... and like most of you say " I have never had DMIS change a nominal ... ever! And if it is changing it on you , you have done somthing wrong!"
I am not talking about it changing a nominal for a feature! I am saying that when i create a dimension, without CAD, I have to tell it what nominal i want for the dimension, bedcause it always picks the wrong one! Then I print a report and all is fine... UNTIL I RUN THE PROGRAM AGAIN! Then, the next time i print the report, all the nominals are different and I have to update them again!
Also tolerances that i put in the angle dimension edit box won't transfer to the report at all.
... I wish it were that easy! All is good with the alinment features. It is a crappy situation,
Lets say i have 2 lines, and they are .5" apart. When I go to dimension them, the dimension edit box will pull up a random measurement for the nominal like .04235" or something like that! I will then change it to what it really should be. Then lookinig at the report, it will have the correct nominal and the correct measured value. But heaven forbid I run the program again... next time the report pops up.. we are back to the nominal reading .04235" again! Measured value is correct.. but the nominal is just whatever the **** it wants it to be! It doesn't do this when i have a cad model quiet as much.
