Tolerancing

The Tolerancing options let you customize tolerancing properties and behaviors for 3D Annotation Infrastructure.

This page discusses:

Annotation Set Creation

Standard
Defines the conventional standard dedicated to tolerancing and annotation apps.

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

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.
