BIGAL Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) A dimension style can have a prefix and or a suffix so create a style with suffix ". Edited August 30 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMadoka Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 I've looked all through my settings but cannot figure out how to create a dimension style in Solidworks. I can get fractions to display with the inch mark but not decimal dimensions. I appreciate your assistance Sir... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I do not think it's possible IIRC. Technically you don't put the " on decimal inches. If you look at the ASME and GD&T books, they don't use them on fractional either, more of an architectural and civil thing as far as I know. AutoCAD and IIRC Inventor lets you add them. Did you try the options when you click on a dimension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMadoka Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 I wanted to avoid having to manually tweak every dimension... People want Solidworks drawings to look like Autocad drawings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 AutoCAD is pretty useful for custom solutions, particularly if you know basic toolbar buttons, menus, LISP et. al. Most people like the look of manual drafting and AutoCAD easily adapts to what you are used to. Other software not so much. I worked more on ProE drawings to make them look like what we had from manual drafting days and our AutoCAD drawings and per request from the client (that insisted on ProE) than I care to think about. IIRC, it's been a long time since I used Soldworks, but select all dimensions and add " and save as favorites. There may be some MACROs available on the DSS forums Login | 3DEXPERIENCE ID | Dassault Systèmes (3ds.com). As long as I worked with Solidworks, it has been asked.
