Switch off tolerance values from dimensions by default
Switch off tolerance values from dimensions by default
(OP)
I have always switch on tolerances on dimensions both in sketch environment and in drafting, so every time I put a dimension it appears with tolerance. I want to have by default dimensions without tolerances. Anybody knows how I can switch it off by default, so I do not need to make manually every time I insert a new dimension in a skertch or drawing? I am not able to find any customer default to manage this.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance





RE: Switch off tolerance values from dimensions by default
Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> General -> Standards
...and you will see where you can choose your 'standard' and then select...
Customize Standard -> Annotation -> Dimensions
...and at about 40% down the scrolled window there will be an item named 'Tolerance Type'.
Now this will not necessarily control directly whether you're getting a default tolerance set or not since this will only effect NEW part files created from scratch. If you're using a predefined template file that is what's really controlling this issue. In that case you will need to open the master template and go into...
Preferences -> Annotation -> Dimensions
...and change it there and resave the template file(s).
