Can't change nominals on 2023 Geotol

We are working on a plan to update from 2017. In 2017 Xact let you change nominals for GDT outputs....it seems in Geotol it is a slave to the CAD model nominals, which as we all know can sometimes not be what we want.

Is there a way to change the nominals in Geotol?

Thanks.

I've taken the GeoTol class and nominals should never be an issue because in reality we should never write a program "to CAD" because as Neil stated CAD can be off from what the drawing states. I work in medical and the rounding up and down from these design suck big time. I make my nominals correct and will cast a feature and fix the nominals so when we do go 2020R2 (possibly early next year) or newer my programs won't be giving us fits like this. Most of us older programmers have learned that the DEMON is not perfect and you learn to cheat (legitimately of course) to make it work for you.

ALL my prints state something like this:

CAD IS MASTER

or

FOR REFERENCE ONLY - CAD MODEL IS MASTER

or various other wording, all boiling down to the same thing, the CAD file is master for EVERYTHING.

I also get notes along the lines of "CAD MODEL HAS ALL BASIC DIMENSIONS " or some such twaddle.
