Context: In addition, you may want to change the number of decimal places to match the dimensions of the feature you are creating. You can use the Decimal places field to control the number of decimal places displayed in each dimension. To reduce clutter while editing a sketch, you can use the Show dimensions option to hide the dimensions. You can also use the Show parameter names option to display the names of dimensions that have been converted to parameters instead of their numerical values. Displaying parameter names allows you to view dimensions that have been replaced by parametric expressions and helps you to create relationships between various sketch dimensions. Finally, you can select the types of dimensions that can be created automatically with the Auto-Dimension tool. Dimension text height and decimal place settings apply to the sketch you are working on and are stored along with the sketch. When you create a new sketch, Abaqus/CAE uses the default dimension text height and number of decimal places for the new sketch. All other dimension options are stored for the remainder of the current Abaqus/CAE session. |
