Hi all, Perhaps someone will be able to help me with this. In the drawing editor we have a group of tolerance specifications that show up on the screen. When I place the cursor over them the "hint" indicates "Tag". How can those specifications be modified? Not how to change the values, though you can mention that in your response, but how would one go about adding a new tolerance line to those specs?

(Oh, and I'm not talking about the general tolerance note on the field of the drawing. It's a virtual note on screen containing the current tolerances of the drawing. Hope this is clear.)

Thanks for the help,

If you double click the "tag" you can change the value. You can not add, delete or change the "tags" shown. PTC has decided what you need to see and you will like it. These "tags" are just tolerance settings angular_tol and linear_tol. You can set a different value for the number of decimal places from 0 to 14 for both linear and angular dimensions.

To show them in a drawing note embed the text &linear_tol_0_0000 to see the 4 decimal place linear value, etc. I don't know an easier way to see or modify the values that PTC choose to not show us.
