Tolerances in drawings 1

[RGS1]

I want to display the tolerances of only certain dimensions within a drawing. Unfortunately, when I set the tol_display to yes in the drawing set-up file, all the dimensions now show a tolerance. Is there a way to pick and choose which dimensions to add the tolerancing to?

I don't know what Pro/E version are you using so if you are using 2001:

Right click on any dimension-->Properties--> Choose the tolerance mode and the value(s)

Change the tol_display config.pro setting for the models to NOMINAL. This allows all new dim's to be shown as nominal. It won't affect parts made PRIOR to this change.

Like before, just pick the dim's you want to change, then RMB abd pick the tolerance setting there.

3dlogic,

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes the most simplest things are overlooked. Mine was set to plusminus.

Thanks again.

If you have a lot of dimensions that you want to add the tolerances back to, you may want to set up a mapkey that will allow you to select many dimensions at once.

I just did this recently and have found that it's very useful - especially when there are many dimensions that will be using the same tolerance.

See thread554-25170 for more info.
