Dimension Parenttheses in views.

In a drawing file, if I have the parentheses on the dimensions in all
the views. Is there a way of turning the parerntheses of in all the
views? This is after I already put them in when Tools/Options/
Documents/Details/Dimensions/Parentheses was on.
In other words I changed the setting in the Options, but this did
update in the Views. I looked at Display/Views but no help there.

I want to turn the parentheses off in all the views now. Any way to
do it?

Any help is appreciated.

 

Use the filter tool (hit F5), check "Filter Dimension / Hole
Callouts", somewhere in the middle. Now seclect the whole drawing
sheet and all Your dimenisons will be highlighted, then go to the
property manager and uncheck Parantheses in Display Options.

Use the selection filter for dimensions, window select all the dimensions
on the sheet, then turn off the parentheses in the property manager.

 

I SELECTED THE FILTER FOR DIM/HOLE. THEN I TRIED TO SELECT THE
DRAWING SHEET IN THE TREE, NO GO. BUT THEN I DID A WINDOW OF ALL THE
VIEWS IN THE DRAWING, THIS HIGHLIGHT ALL DIM'S AND I CHANGED THE
PARENTHESES SETTING, IT WORKED. THANK YOU
I THINK YOU MEANT WINDOWING ALL THE VIEW'S WHEN YOU SAID "SELECT THE
WHOLE DRAWING", SMALL POINT BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PRECEDURE IS
CORRECT.
THANKS AGAIN.

 

THANKS FOR THE HELP, GOT IT, YOU AND DALE ABOVE HELPED ME ALOT, AGAIN
THANK YOU.

 

Yeah right.....my fingers are too fast some times.... noticed when I
read Dales comment that I left out some (important) words. Glad You
made it though.

Sorry, did not know the protocol. Thanks for tellilng me.

 

One point, be careful when editing a bunch of different dimensions at
once. SolidWorks will not be able to distiquish which action you
intent when you edit dimensions with different settings, so it will
attempt to set all the dims to the same settings.
