Re: weird solidworks dimension error

What version is it?

Just as an fyi:
The <MOD-DIAM> is the code all DIAMETER dimensions have that tells the program you want a diameter symbol represented.

If you look at the properties of a normal dimension, you would see just <DIM>.

There are plenty more codes like that within the dimensions of SolidWorks, & you can override all of them, but you didn't hear that from me. (This is all supposed to be parametric don't forget. lol)

I know I ran across that problem when we upgraded from 2006 to 2008.

SW 2008 is a joke plain & simple. There are way too many bugs in it!
If you have the option to skip that version & go right to 2009 when upgrading, do it!!
