Adding a New Prefix
You can interrupt a dimensioning command to add a new prefix to the dimension text. Examples of prefixes are:
• DIA (diameter)
• R (radius)
• CHAMFER
• BC (base circle)
After entering the prefix, complete the dimensioning command and Creo Elements/Direct Drafting will draw the dimension including the prefix.
The new prefix will also be included in all subsequently assigned dimensions. This avoids having to enter the same prefix every time you are dimensioning a similar geometry feature.
To add a new prefix:
1. Click Text Ext in Dimension.
2. Click Prefix in Text Ext.
3. Define the prefix.
4. Complete the dimensioning command.
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting draws the dimension including the prefix text.
To cancel the function and leave the dimensioning command active, click Clear.
