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??

    Can anyone tell me how I can change a report read out on a dimension? I ran a part that stated that my hole dia was off by .0002 and so I measured it with a hole mic and found it to be just slightly over nominal which is fine considering we are measuring this feature with +/- .010 I want to just go in and change the dimension manually but it won't let me? Any advice would be appreciated.

    That is called fraud. The honest thing to do would be to add a report comment stating you checked it with a hole mic, the result of that check, and you opinion that it's good 'nuff.
