Limits a Fits

Limits a Fits

RE: Limits a Fits

When creating a Cylindrical dimension, whether you get an uppercase letter tolerance for a hole or a lowercase letter tolerance for a shaft, depends on the 'Type' option in the Settings dialog, as shown below (and in the attached image):

I noticed that the dialogue "Upper an Lower tolerance" does not update afert change type to schaft - value is not changed.

RE: Limits a Fits

Why isn't the "type" option available in the dimension dialog box? This would make it so much easier to switch back and forth.
Also, is there a way to change how the tolerance is displayed? It is currently 10H7(0.015/0) where the H7 is always first. Is there a way to change it to put the H7 after the tolerance in parentheses? It currently doesn't match our long standing drafting standards.
