Hi,
why with standard tolerance, the gap is OK, but when I use ISO tolerance the gap increment ?
I tried to put the gap to zero, but nothing.
Solution ?

Thank you...

When you say gap, it's the distance between the "dimension text" and the dimension line you mean ?
I had a look and i get the same behavior. I think it's a case for GTAC.

If we didn't expect that you may need to manipulate the settings we wouldn't have given you access to them ;-)

John,
when I say that I don't like to manipulate the setting, I intend in this case.
Why if I put the ± 0.1 tolerance in the dimension the result is OK, but if I put the ISO tolerance, the result is different ?
Tolerance are bottom aligned to the dimension text ? If yes, why ISO tolerance increase the distance between the "dimension text" and the dimension line without editing style dimension setting ?

Thank you...

Hi looslib,
the style is OK for all situation.
Only when I add ISO tolerance, this strange behavior require to me edit style dimension.
I don't like.

Thank you...
