HDEAR Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi all, I know it's staring me in the face, but can't find it. When within CAXA, how do you open the relative linked scene, if it's not already open? Also I have my unit precision set to 0.0 ( I work in metric ) which helps pick up the odd misalignment. However if I am content with the misalignment and it's not vital to correct that in the scene, is there a quick way I can change the unit precision to 0, wothout having to go into properties and scrolling down, then making another scroll change? In ICD, you highlight the dimension and hit CTRL-0 so I'm hoping it's something as simple as that in the way of a short-cut Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi Harley, The attached image shows how to open the 3D Scene that is linked to a Generated View in CAXA. Right click on the view to display this menu and choose "Edit Scene". Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Harley, If you are referring to changing the precision of selected dimensions only, then the attached image and video demonstrates. Select the desired dimension (or dimensions), right click, and select Dim Precision.

Malcolm Crowe Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Harley, If you want to change the precision of all of the dimensions that you place in the drawing, then you need to change the precision within the "Dimension Style". You could even have different Dimension Styles for different precision applications if you wanted. For your additional learning, at the start of the attached video I show how to remove the previous dimension precision overrides in the Properties Panel, before I make changes to the "Dimension Style".
