How to get 587.0 dim in metric
How to get 587.0 dim in metric
(OP)
When using mm units on dwg I can not get dimension to appear 587.0 when the "real" dim is 587.0.
No problem to get 587.1 when real dim is 587.1 (mm).
I know it is possible to get dimension 587.0 on dwg but I do not know how to do it.
Thanks

X +/- 0.75
X.X +/- 0.25
X.XX +/- 0.075
Dim 587 would be interpreted as having 0.75 tolerance, but 587.0 as having 0.25 tolerance.
Thanks for all replies.

Since the standards say don't use trailing zeros "587.0", call out the tol at the dim "587 +/- 0.25".

There is a common non-understanding of metric dims that confuses tolerance methods between metric and inch. In metric, the tolerances are determined by ANSI B4.3 based basic dimension, and how permissible variations is appied to International Tolerance Grade (IT). You only need to add specific tolerancing to a dim if you want to specify something other than the standard. This means that metric does not depend on decimal points to determine tolerance because it relies on the length of the dimension itself and IT specified.
