RE: Dimexpert
RE: Dimexpert
I can create my geometry the way I always have and add tolerances
to the model dimensions i used when I sketched my features.
however it seems if I wish to add geometric tolerances etc to my model for the purpose of model based definition I need to swith to dimxpert.
The dimexpert dimensions become almost an add on to the dimensions I have already made in my sketch based definition and dimensioning scheme,They dont actually control the model
I think im missing something????

RE: Dimexpert
I get going with dimxpert ,set primary ,set secondary datums and sure it gives me 90 and 10 but not the tolerance I set in the model.Sure I can set the tolerance I want in the dimxpert dimension but it seems the dimxpert model definition can be different to the version which and so I have to manually tolerance the thing
Im wondering if annotation view is better as it reuses the tolerances I embed in the model but I cannot add geometrical toleraces or datums to it other than in the drawing
RE: Dimexpert
They are reference dimensions just like the ones you create in 2D drawings but if they are put on the solid you can import them into your drawings as well.
