To Modify the Dimension Prior to Printing

In many cases, you must modify the nominals, tolerances, or output format before you print the results.

To change the nominals or tolerances from the Edit window:

1. Access the Edit window and place it in Command mode (View | Edit Window).

2. Click on the dimension in the Edit window.

3. Press the Tab key to move to the value you want to change.

4. Type a new value.

To edit the nominals or tolerances using the dimension's dialog box:

1. Click on the dimension in the Edit window.

2. Press F9 to access its dialog box.

3. Change the necessary values.

4. Click the Create button.

To change the contents of the dimension report, access the Dimension tab in the Parameter Settings dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters) (see "Parameter Settings: Dimension tab" in the "Setting your Preferences" chapter) and modify the dimension information that PC-DMIS should display.

The "Analysis Settings" section of each dimension's dialog box enables you to display the dimension printout in a format suitable for close examination.
