drawoh,
For my clarification, could you identify the page or pages you are referring to?
Also, by your example, Are you making up the note? If so, I'd have to disagree about the wording.
The dimensions are not "True Position" dimension, they are "Untoleranced" dimensions. True position is...
All,
I have not found anything in ASME Y 14.5 that describes the use of notes for basic dimensions in a table. The specification does allow for a general note for dimension that are to be basic. The note is as follows:
UNTOLERANCED DIMENSIONS LOCATING TRUE POSITION ARE BASIC.
This note refers...

Just to let you know, all definitions for non-alpha/numeric symbols are defined in a file called "Gtol.sym", located in:
Drive:\SW-LoadPoint\lang\english
Try reloading this file.
Caution should be exercised with this file especially in a multi-user environment. If an individual has...
We've struggled with the question of keeping SmarTeam or switching to PDMW or someother less pricey software. In the end, we come to the same conclusion after comparing products and that is, we'd lose so much capability/functionality that we remain with ST.
It's always tough giving up what...
In my work, we also define hole patterns using a Bolt Circle or BC. To provide for this, we create & dimension the bolt circle, as a separate construction sketch, prior to inserting a hole-wizard feature. Then the 2d or 3d point for the hole(s) can be made coincident with the BC. If an angular...
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I do not believe this is possible. The calloutformat.txt file only works for existing "SolidWorks" hole wizard holes.
Just to confuse the issue even further, you can use the variable name "$PARTNUMBER" in a design table for use in a BOM. Very useful for multi-configuration database.
This is one area where SW and/or your VAR could do a better job. There are other important factors to be known & considered...
Information identified as <CL-#>, <TL-#>, etc., are all SolidWorks Symbols.
Symbols are identified in the file "gtol.sym" located in:
SW-LoadPoint\lang\english
In addition to the "Flag" Symbols above, the file defines all GD&T, Weld, Hole & Modifying symbols.
If necessary, the file can be...
I also stay away from non-named views. "Current Model View" is one and the others are all views that are automatically added using the "3 Standard Defaults". Although you do get a front, a top & a right, they are not named, therefore, they cannot be modified.
Whether or not you agree, I think...
