DimXpert from part to drawing 1

[adampunch]

Usually at work the same engineer both models a part and then details it straight away. But sometimes there's a few days between, or the detailing is left to a different engineer or drafter. So i have been trying to use some dim Xpert dimensions in my parts to call attention to important tolerances. Then from the drawing i try to import the model items, but no tolerances get carried over with the dimensions. Is there a way to carry over the tolerances, or do i just have to look at the model anyway?

I don't use the DimXpert. I apply the tolerances to the regular dimensions, and they are inserted via the Model Items.

Thanks again, CBL. Although this begs the question, what use does dimXpert have?

You may have to adjust a couple of settings to get the DimXpert dims with tolerance to show.
