Geometrical Tolerance lets you create and edit a geometrical tolerance. You can also add local and global text indicators to the geometrical tolerances.


Before you begin: Open a drawing representation.
  1. Select an element (geometry, dimension, dimension value, text or point) or click in the sheet to position the anchor point of the geometrical tolerance.
  2. Click in the sheet to position the geometrical tolerance.

    Tip: Alt + click in the sheet to position the tolerance vertically.

  3. In the Geometrical Tolerance dialog box, you can perform the following operations:

    2. Under Edit Tolerance, select a tolerance indicator from the list to replace it with the previous one.
    3. In the Edit Tolerance box, add the tolerance value and select an engineering symbol.
    4. Optional: In the Reference boxes, add the references and select an engineering symbol.
    5. Optional: In the Auxiliary Feature Indicators list, select a local indicator and an engineering symbol.
    6. Optional: In the Auxiliary Feature Text Indicator box, add an indication text and an engineering symbol.
    7. Optional: In the Global Text Indicators boxes, add an upper and a lower text and an engineering symbol.
  4. Optional: Click Reset to clear all values.
  5. Click OK to create the geometrical tolerance.
  6. To add an all-around symbol to the leader, select the geometrical tolerance, right-click the yellow handle on the arrow, and then select Application Zone > Global All Around.
