Creating Geometric Tolerances

You can create geometric tolerances on a 3D view or directly on a model. You can add tolerance levels to the components.

If you add annotations directly on a model that do not have 3D views, the annotations are inserted in a 3D view by default(isometric view).

Before you begin:

Open or import a model in the app.

  1. Activate a 3D View from the Manager panel.
  2. From the Action Bar, select Annotation> Geometric Tolerance .
  3. Select the component for which the tolerance needs to be created.
  4. Click in the work area to place the tolerance.
    The Tolerance dialog box appears.
  5. Choose values for Geometrical Tolerance.

    You can click the plus sign to add more tolerances, and also delete the existing tolerances.

  6. Choose the symbol for tolerance.
  7. Type the value of tolerance and select a symbol for it.
    The selected symbols get added to the value entered.
  8. For Reference, type values and choose symbols.

    The Reference field is applicable only for some symbols. The first four symbols do not have the Reference field.

  9. Choose Auxiliary Feature Indicators and enter its values.
  10. Type values for Auxiliary Feature Text Indicator and Global Text Indicators.
  11. Expand Leader Attachment, and select geometry or dimension to attach the leader.

    By default, On geometry is selected.

  12. Select a geometry or dimension in the model.
  13. If you have selected geometry, select the Leader type.
  14. Click Apply and repeat.
    The tolerance is created on the selected component. The dialog box remains open. You can create multiple geometric tolerances at once. Click to save changes and close the dialog box.

    You can move, drag, and change the position of the tolerance. You can also rotate the box.

    You can edit the geometric tolerance using the context toolbar. For more information, see Context Toolbars.

The geometric tolerance is displayed under the selected 3D view in the tree.
