Remove the Parenthesis from Retrieved Driven Dimensions in a Drawing

All,

Good morning! I've run into a small annoyance when retrieving model dimensions inside an Inventor drawing. When I'm retrieving DRIVEN Model dimensions, the parenthesis come across as well, so the dimension text looks like "(31.625)" instead of just "31.625". Does anyone know of a setting that controls this? I have been looking, but haven't had anything obvious jump out to me in the settings.

Not the end of the world, but it would be nice to have the dimensions be consistent... Thanks in advance for any assistance and please let me know if you have any questions. Hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

Peace,

Pete

It is brought over as a reference dim. Just edit the dim, go to Precision and Tolerance tab and change it from Ref to something else. If it is ref in the sketch, I would assume it to come across as ref in the drawing.

@Alexander_Chernikov that worked! The weird thing was that I already had the standard style set, when I retrieved them, so I didn't expect to have to reassign that style.

@blandb that worked! I was able to edit the dimension and change the tolerance method, just as you suggested. Toggling the dimension style also changed the tolerance method.

I appreciate the help and have a most blessed day!

Peace,

Pete
