Tolerances showing up in sketcher

[tk369]

In NX6, whenever I use the sketcher, a tolerance of +/-.010 comes up whatever dimension I am using: horiz, vert, angular, etc.

Is this tied to my drafting preferences or have I toggled something on/off?

Please advise. thank you.

It could be that the template for a new model is the same as the template for drafting. Then you have to create separate templates and change Preferences - Annotation - Dimensions - Precision and Tolerance to NO Tolerance in the template for new model.

To answer the original question, YES, the preferences set for Drafting Annotation are now being used to also control the presentation of the Sketch Dimensions.

BTW, this is another argument for using the Master Model approach, since here's an example where in the Part model, where the sketches are located, you may wish to use a different set of Annotation preferences than you would for the final drawings. Using the Master Model approach you can have one set of defaults set for the Modeling files and different ones set for the Drawing files, sort of like "having your cake and eating it too".
