user parameter delimiter within annotation notes

DeepshipEngineering — Sat, 28 Dec 2024 09:41:40 GMT

We have user parameters that we have inserted onto our parts and assembly templates as Annotations, general note. This gives us a head up display in the modelling environment.

The issue is, the part user parameters display correctly with a full stop, (.) as the delimiter but the assembly delimiter always comes through as a comma, (,)

I can not find any setting to set this to a full stop. The standard iproperties come through as desired and the part templates are correct, it just seems to occur in the assembly templates, see screen shot. Mass is a standard iproperty, the other 2 are user parameters

Any ideas on this?

Hi @DeepshipEngineering

Without seeing the file(s), I can't check, but I think this is caused by the dimension style used for the 3d annotation.

Your Part template may have one annotation standard - your assembly template may have a different standard?
(Tools > Document Settings > Standard - "Active Standard")

Thanks but both the active standards are ISO

Hi! I guess it may have something to do with custom property format (go to Parameters dialog -> find the parameter of interest -> click on the right pointing arrow button -> Cusom Property Format. Make sure the settings are all in sync. Please share the files here. I would like to understand the behavior better.

Many thanks!
