Embedded tolerances?

[navyhill]

I have a drawing view where I am calling out hole locations using basic X and Y dimensions in a table using the dimension references (ie. &d192). My problem is that some of the dimensions show up with limits dimensions and others show up just fine. I can't turn off the display for all tolerances because I have other dimensions that need it. Is there somewhere in the model itself where the tolerances are embedded, because I haven't specified default dimensions for the hole locations anywhere. Any ideas. Thanks.

Kendall,

Try selecting the individual dimensions in the table that have tolerances, select to turn it red, right click, properties, and you should be able to edit the way that dimension is displayed (i.e. as a basic dim).

If you cannot select the dimension in the table, you might need to show it on the part to edit it, then erase it to show it in the table again.

That worked thanks. I was able to show the dimension, edit it and then erase it. I never would have thought of that.

You should have been able to select the dimension directly in the table to edit its properties. If it wouldn't highlight try using a smart filter (dimension).

Yeah, you are right. I found out that you can click the dimension directly. Sometimes it takes a few clicks, but once the dimension turned red that meant that I had the actual dimension selected and not the note. From there I could just change the dimension type. Thanks again!
