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??

  • That, or just do a complete alignment, like they USED to teach in the starting classes, not the level only, then measure more, then level and rotate then measure more, then level rotate and origin. I always do complete alignments, never partials, never.


    Just to offer another point of view. If there is a level involved, I do a complete alignment. I've never had any problems with rotations or re-setting origins when starting from a fully defined alignment.
