Chamfer Tolerance

[paramathma]

How to give tolerance to chamfer?

I am able to give tolerance either to the length or to the angle (attached image)

I need to apply tolerance to both length & Angle.

The other ways to achieve it is by placing a text(value) next to it etc., but can we give the tolerance using the method what we use to give for length, radius etc dimensions.

Yep, this doesn't look right. Should be able to apply a tolerance to the angle as well. I remember in Pro/E we had an option for "dist x 45 deg" chamfer and in that case you could not tolerance the 45 degree. Solution was to use "dist x angle" and then both could be toleranced. Funny, in V5 you can enter any angle degree in the chamfer command but cannot tolerance.

I'm still trying to figure out why you have to create the chamfer dim anyway in the drawing. Just show it like other dims are shown in the drawing. The information is already in the model to display. However, the chamfer dim won't show.

OK, now here's something strange. In the creation of the chamfer in the model, right click in the angle field and you'll see "Add tolerance" However, I still can't show that dimension in the drawing.
