Comma separate dimension text
Oh this is so sweet...and many thanks to Bentley's
Josh Schifter
for sharing it on the
v8.dimensioning
newsgroup!
To place comma separated dimension text do the following:
Ensure that the dimension master unit is set to metric. Go to
Element > Dimensions > Unit Format > Metric Format > Units Separator
and select the last option from the picklist! That's all there is to it!
Note, for old V8 you'll have to go to
Element > Dimensions > Unit Format
and turn on
Unit Separation
. Then keyin the following:
mdl load calculat;calculator mdlDimStyle_setBoolIntProp dgnDimStyle_getActiveFromModelRef (0), 1, 1046)
and save the changes to the dimension style.
