Question:
The requirement in drawing is dimensions should have decimal separator as "," comma and elevations should have decimal separator as "." dot.
Thus for example a dimension 5250, shall appear as 5,250 and in the same drawing elevation say EL. 108625 shall appear as EL. 108.625
We can set decimal separator (for dimensioning) settings in ‘Advanced Options’ to comma. This works fine with dimensions, but the problem is that the comma separator gets reflected in Elevations too (i.e. EL. 108,625) which we want as EL. 108.625
Answer:
By default “XS_DIMENSION_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR” variable from advanced option, works for both dimensions and level marks.
To have the different separator in elevations, add the elevations as associative note (see below). While adding associative note, use attached template to call respective level (Top/Bottom).
