Parameter in Geometric Tolerance

[dgallup]

Anybody know how to insert a parameter into the value field of a geometric tolerance? I have a family table part that I want to vary a geometric tolerance value. I made a parameter and added it to the family table (don't see a way to add a GTOL directly to a family table) but I can't figure out how to get the parameter into the GTOL. Maybe I'll just write a note & embed the parameter.

I attempted to embed a parameter using the additional text tab in the gtol setup and it appears that this field is only setup to allow text input, as it could not read the parameter value just the text used to embed. It looks like embeding it in a free note might be the best way.

I did find that you can add a gtol into a family table as "other" but you have to know the symbolic name ahead of time, you can't pick it in the graphics window. ?!?!?!?

However, it still didn't work acceptably as the instance value has more significant places than the generic and WF2 rounds the instance value off in the drawing so it looks the same as the generic. ?!?!?!?

I ended up making a note with an embedded parameter.
