Display text in place of tolerance in GD&T

Display text in place of tolerance in GD&T

(OP)
Hello,

I have a "master" drawing that describes three pipes of different lengths.  Each pipe will have a different straightness tolerance, and I'd like to have a straightness GD&T box with "See Table" or "S" instead of the numerical tolerance.

Is there a way to do this?  I know on a dimension you can modify it by putting an "o" after the "@D" and then typing your custom text, but I can't get it to work in the GD&T box.

Oh yeah, and I'm using WF4.

Thanks in advance!

I figured out a way to make it work, but it isn't an actual GD&T tolerance.  I just created a note as shown below:

@[(Straightness symbol)@]@[ S @]

If anyone knows a way to modify the actual GD&T I would still love to hear how to do it, but I at least have a workaround if it isn't possible.
