Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

(OP)
Is it possible to use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?  

For example:

X < 60 then "TOL" = .25
X >= 60 THEN "TOL" = .125

  X            TOL   
61.50   +/-   0.25

I know this isn't going to work as is... just trying to give you the picture of what we are trying to do.  

Thanks!  

RE: Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

You can make it appended text (after the dimension) and make the tolerance a conditional expression and use $t for the + - sign

RE: Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

Hi,
which version are you using ?
NX 7.5 has ISO tolerance, that update itself on dimension change.

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC8.3

RE: Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

(OP)
Currently @ NX7.5

I would like to know more about ISO tolerance!  (Sounds promising!)  

RE: Use Expressions for dimensional tolerancing?

(OP)
How do I access the ISO tolerance and is it customizable?
