Tolerance display when using dim symbols

We are currently using Pro/E-2001
Occasionally we use symbols for dimensions in our drawings.
A question came to me about how to show the symbol and still retain the tolerance after the symbol.
It seems that when you change the dim to a symbol the tolerance info disappears. I told her one could append the tolerance to the symbol as text.

Perhaps there is a config setting that deals with this? Or can you put the tolerance in the table?

I recommended this site, so she may post this question also.

Thanks in advance

I'm not aware of any config file that allows the tolerance to remain after the dimension tag has been removed. Also, the GD&T features will also be removed.
