PCDMIS Automatically Changing Measured Angles To Nominals

KBPCDMIS
Hello,

I have this option turned off in the F5 menu and it isn't happening with every angle, but some angle dimension nominals are changing every time the program is run to whatever the measured angle is. How can I prevent this from happening?
  • Do an assignment for the nominal and use that in your dimension.
  • Do an assignment for the nominal and use that in your dimension.

    Could you elaborate? I know how to assign variables but i'm not familiar with assigning nominals anywhere other than the dimension itself.
  • You can also turn the nominal into a math algorithm, and it will prevent system updates, just add "+0" after the nominal value in your output. However, for your interest in using a variable to control the nominal see example: 
                ASSIGN/ANG_NOM1=105
            COMMENT/REPT,
            Char. #: 296
DIM 296_1= 3D ANGLE FROM LINE LIN_296_1 TO LINE AXIS_BA ,$
GRAPH=OFF  TEXT=OFF  MULT=10.00  OUTPUT=BOTH
AX       MEAS    NOMINAL       +TOL       -TOL        DEV     OUTTOL
A      105.000  ANG_NOM1      2.000      2.000      0.000      0.000 -#--
DIM 296_2= 3D ANGLE FROM LINE LIN_296_4 TO LINE AXIS_BA ,$
GRAPH=OFF  TEXT=OFF  MULT=10.00  OUTPUT=BOTH
AX       MEAS    NOMINAL       +TOL       -TOL        DEV     OUTTOL
A      105.000    105.000+0      2.000      2.000      0.000      0.000 -#--​

    What option in the F5 menu are you speaking of?

    "Find Nominals" - another post with a similar issue mentioned that being on could cause the issue

    Gotcha - so assign "name"= nominal and change the nominal in the dimension to that name?
