Controls output of bore, dimensional units, and dimension styles, including stacked fractions. This option switch is also used to determine how the numeric part of a metric coordinate is formatted. Finally, you can use this option switch to control component weight output. You can specify weight per unit length in units different from those used on the isometric drawing.
-
Units for bore and weight data included in the input pipeline data file are set by Option Switch 65.
-
Bolt length and bolt diameter units defined by Option Switch 41 can be modified by using Option Switch 65.

SWITCH POSITIONS 6 & 7 - Imperial Dimension Output Format (Inches or Feet-Inches)
|
0 |
Change dimension output format from inches to feet-inches at 24". For example, 28" is output as 2' 4". |
|
1 |
