Selecting a Dimensioning Standard
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting can emulate the dimensioning styles specified in various drawing standards as well as allow you to define your own company or site-wide standard. The standards available are:
• ANSI
• DIN
• ISO
• JIS
• Company (Creo Elements/Direct Drafting default)
To select a dimensioning standard:
1. Press DIMENSION 1.
2. Pick the field adjacent to Standard to toggle between standards.

To emulate a given dimensioning standard, Creo Elements/Direct Drafting simply executes a macro that calls dimensioning style commands with the appropriate options. If a given dimensioning standard has features that are not supported by Creo Elements/Direct Drafting dimensioning commands, that feature will not be supported.
The dimensioning standards are all defined in the macro file da_std.mac This macro file can be edited by hand in order to set the Company dimensioning style, but the other standards defined in this file should generally not be changed.
