Dimensions Primary Units PaneKeyCreator / Detail / Settings / Options / Dimensions Primary Units Pane
Dimensions are used to measure distance or size and, therefore, must be measured with units. This pane allows you to control units for the primary dimension value. The pane is shown below.
UnitsThe units in which the dimension is calculated. Available units are Inches, Millimeters, Feet, Centimeters, Yards, Meters and User. If you select User, then the Conversion factor field becomes available so you can define the User units. Dimension scaleConversion from part units to the dimension units. For example, if the part is created in Inches and the dimensions are set to millimeters, the conversion factor is 25.4. The number of inches times 25.4 equals the number of millimeters. Display unit labelSelect to display the units label with the dimension value Unit labelThe label to display for the units Tolerance modeThe type of tolerance to display. Available tolerances are None, Basic, +/-, Single line +/-, Limit, Single line limit, Reference #, ISO Fit Grade and ISO Fit Grade Single. NOTE: ISO limits are listed in the KeyCreator install folder under Lang\English\FitToleranceData folder, in the FitTolSys.csv and can be paired down/added as needed. Style Editor Primary Units Fit Tolerance Database
FirstThe value of the First tolerance SecondThe value of the second tolerance when available from Tolerance Mode settings ISO Fit Tolerance Display
The options are inactive (grayed out) for non-ISO Fit Tolerance modes. Choosing Fit Grade Single allows for selection from this dropdown menu as follows: Display zero tolerance signIf this is selected, a + or – sign will precede a zero tolerance. Basic box gapThe space between the text box and the box of the basic tolerance box RepresentationThe representation formatting of the dimension value. Options are Decimal, Fractional or Feet/Inches. When Decimal is chosen the Round off selection is disabled and the Precision enabled. Choosing fractional or feet/inches reverses this process. Note that choosing Round off of 1will round the resulting value to the nearest whole number using conventional mathematical round off rules (similar to choosing n for precision.) RoundoffUsed for Fractional, Feet/Inches and degree/minutes/seconds (applied from root Primary setting so not seen in Angular Dimension>Primary Units) display. This specifies to what precision the value is rounded. Options are 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64. PrecisionThe number of digits displayed after the decimal character in decimal representation. There can be from 0 to 7 digits of precision displayed. Decimal pointThe character to display for the decimal point in decimal representation Fractional SeperatorThe seperation character to display for fractional representation Display leading zeroWhen selected, a leading zero is displayed for decimal values less than one. For example, a decimal representation of ¼ with leading zeros selected would be 0.25. Display trailing zerosWhen selected, zeros are displayed in the dimension value. For example, a decimal representation of ¼ with a precision of 4 and trailing zeros selected would be .2500. |
