2D plans Layout

Hello to holes,

Here I have a bug when I want to dimension diameters in the drawings I have the annotation <MOD-DIAM> instead of the dimeter symbol

How can I solve this problem that I didn't have on solidworks 2015 by the way?

Thank you

Hello

This bug existed in the 2006 / 2007 versions if my memory serves me correctly. At the time, you had to go to the menus on the left, and delete the > character in the dimension text, and put it back on the keyboard right away. It worked.

Tell me if this is still the case.

Hello

Solidworks brings out the old bugs! -> SR-2009-09-53273

At the time we did this:

Close SolidWorks

Copy the C:\Program Files\Common Files\SolidWorks Shared\swvba.tlb file to C:\WINDOWS\system32

Restarting SolidWorks, the problem should not happen again

Edit: The file is here:

C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks
