Re: Dimension over-ride?!?

The special override box is new in 2006. It has always been possible to
simply delete the "<DIM>" from the dimension and add you own number. I
think the real functional difference is that the tolerance tools will
repspect the number added in the override box, but not a text replacement
of "<DIM>".

When this appeared, I made some noise about how bad an idea I thought it
was (beta forums, I think), and recommended that if they insist on
including this feature, then they should also include a marker that the
dimensions is not to scale, such as the customary underlining.
