Tolerancing

The tolerancing options let you configure tolerancing properties and behaviors specific to the .

This page discusses:

Annotation Set Creation

Standard
Defines the conventional standard dedicated to 3D Tolerancing & Annotation.

The options in the Standard appear as follows:

ANSI-ASME
ANSI-ASME standard for 3D.
ISO
ISO standard for 3D.
JIS
JIS standard for 3D.

By default, ISO standard is selected.

Based on the selected conventional standard, customized tolerances (ISO, ANSI-ASME, or JIS) appear in the General Tolerance list in the Limit of Size Definition dialog box.

Annotation Set ratio
Defines the default ratio that is applied to created annotation views.

By default, the ratio is:

  • 1:100 for Small range
  • 1:1 for Normal range
  • 100:1 for Large range

Ratio Assistant

Privilege ratios
Lets you add the ratios to be displayed in the Suggested ratio list.

Based on the selected range, predefined ratios appear.

You can manually enter the ratio in the box and click to add it in the list. To remove the existing ratio value, you can select the value from the list and click .

Note: The added values should be in the limits defined for selected range.
  • Small range: between 1:1 to 1:10000
  • Normal range: between 100:1 to 1:1 and 1:1 to 1:100
  • Large range: between 10000:1 to 1:1
  • Extra-large range: between 1000000:1 to 100:1

By default, the range selected is the Normal Range and the ratio is 1:1.

Based on the selected conventional standard, customized tolerances (ISO, ANSI-ASME, or JIS) appear in the General Tolerance list in the Limit of Size Definition dialog box.

Ratio Assistant

Privilege ratios
Lets you add the ratios to be displayed in the Suggested ratio list.

Based on the selected range, the predefined ratios appear.

You can enter the ratio in the box and click to add it in the list. To remove the existing ratio value, you can select the value from the list and click .

Note: The added values should be in the limits defined for the selected range.
  • Small range: between 1:100000 and 100:1
  • Normal range: between 1:1000 and 10000:1
  • Large range: between 1:10 and 1000000:1
  • Extra-large range: between 10:1 and 100000000:1

By default, The Normal Range is selected and the ratio is 1:1.

In the Limit of Size Definition dialog box, the customized tolerances (ISO, ANSI-ASME, or JIS) appear in the General Tolerance list as per selected conventional standard.

Catalog of Tolerancing Schemas for User Features

Name
Defines the catalog name that contains tolerancing schemas for user features.

Semantic Control

Always try to create semantic tolerances and dimensions
Determines whether the application always tries to specify a semantic type for annotations during creation.
Important:

Applies to annotations that can be semantic. Notice that the annotation display can be modified and/or moved according to the standard semantic.

By default, this check box is selected.

Always try to create semantic general tolerances on dimensions
Defines whether the application always tries to set as semantic a general tolerances dimension during its creation. Applicable on dimension which can be semantic.
Warning:

Only applies when Always try to create semantic tolerances and dimensions is selected.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Non-semantic tolerance creation allowed
Defines whether non-semantic tolerances creation is permitted.

By default, this check box is selected.

Non-semantic dimension creation allowed
Defines whether non-semantic dimensions creation is permitted.

By default, this check box is selected.

Leader associativity to the geometry

Free
Defines that leader annotations are freely positioned relative to their geometrical elements.
Perpendicular
Defines that leader annotations are positioned perpendicular to their geometrical elements.

By default, Free is selected by default.

Published Geometry

Create assembly annotation on external published geometry only
Defines whether assembly annotations are created only on external published geometry.
Important:

When this option is selected, the Forbidden cursor is displayed when passing over non-published geometries.

By default, this check box is cleared.
