To set defaults, it's best to open your normal drafting template file and add or modify dimension styles.
You can do this by selecting "Styles" from the "Format" pulldown. Choose "Dimension" from the "Style type" drop list. from there you can add or modify...

OK, After I hit the submit button for my first reply I realized that I probably misunderstood the shape you describe! so I'll give it another go!
Try adding a fillet to the point where the line and the half circle meet, this would achieve the tangental relationship that it is asking for. I...
From the first error message, it sounds like you are using the "Contour Flange" command? Perhaps the "Tab" Command would be better suited to this (if I am understanding the shape you describe). The contour flange command (when used as the base feature) is used to create an...
In the dimension prefix dialog, you can press
Shift+Enter in the Subfix field to do a Carriage return.
It is displayed as a "|" character in that field.
Perhaps this will work for the hole callout?

Greetings,
Is there a way in Visio 2000 to convert text to outlines? that is, to convert a chosen line of text into lines and arcs that preserve the text's appearance, but is no longer editable text.

"tools" pull down menu select "text profile"

in a sketch from a Part file, copy and paste it into your draft file.
From there you can mirror it, but of...

I use Illustrator V9 to create silkscreen artwork
for use on sheetmetal parts, I've never had a problem
saving Solid Edge Files as DXF or DWG files and reading
them into illustrator, apart from the fact that illustrator
does a poor job of scaling the file correctly.
I've been using a third party...
Very Well Put!
I heartily Agree, While I don't want to belittle the usefulness of this discussion group, The Solid Edge Newsgroups Hosted by EDS are an invaluable resource to any SE user, and probably the main reason that this discussion group is not that active, which may give the impression...
