Nominals in DIMENSIONS keep changing!

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.

Thoughts??

  • Alright I will try that. Now, as another example, this morning I pulled up a program that has a cad model in it, and I ran a part and the report came up and the nominals & tolerances in the report had changed. I know the noms probly changed because the cad model doesn't reflect exactly what the print does, but I had keyed in the correct nominals into the dimension, so why will it not keep the input i specifically put in? My overide should be what it uses! is there a setting for this? also why does it insist on also changing the tolerances? when you have a program with over 100 dimensions in it, and you have to fix over half of them every time you open the program, it gets very problomatic!

    There has got to be a setting that I am missing here.
