All Model Dimension Default

[djbroadben]

I have a question about creating a drawing out of a model in Inventor 2013.

After selecting Base View it opens the Drawing View GUI, with the 3 tabs: Component, Model State, and Display Options.

Being fairly new to Inventor (and trying to learn as I go) I started looking through these tabs and discovered the All Model Dimensions check box in the Display Options tab. Seeing that it automatically dimensions the part when it is brought into the paperspace, I am wondering if there is any way to change the default dimension style for this choice from string to ordinate?

Hi djbroadben,

Just to clarify, tt doesn't automatically dimension the part exactly, but instead it is pulling in the dimensions you created in the part model.

But to answer your question, there is not a way to set these dimensions to come as ordinate dimensions.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Ah, I see. That is unfortunate, as it would be a great time saver. Thank you.
