Is it possible to use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

For example:

X < 60 then "TOL" = .25
X >= 60 THEN "TOL" = .125

X TOL
61.50 +/- 0.25

I know this isn't going to work as is... just trying to give you the picture of what we are trying to do.

Thanks!

You can make it appended text (after the dimension) and make the tolerance a conditional expression and use $t for the + - sign
 
Hi,
which version are you using ?
NX 7.5 has ISO tolerance, that update itself on dimension change.

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC8.3
 
Currently @ NX7.5

I would like to know more about ISO tolerance! (Sounds promising!)
 
How do I access the ISO tolerance and is it customizable?
