Looking for the syntax for adding dimensions in notes.

[Decibels]

I know that to add a dim in a note you can put it like this <X0.3@p6479> which shows like this .500 but if I wanted to add tolerance and show it like this: .495 - .505 How would a make this associative? Or is that an option?

What version of NX are you using ?
Are your drawings created using "master model" ?

Below syntax will give you the upper and lower values of your tolerance. In example +0.060 upper and -0.030 lower.

<T+0,060!-0,030>

<T+0,060!-0,030> would be good as long as you don't have a limit dimension. With a limit dimension, Other than adding 2 separate expressions for tolerance, (p6479+.005) and (p6479-.005), I wouldn't know. I hope there is a better way of doing it.

I sometimes try to get around with by using a real dimension in drafting. Add the tolerance values in. Hide leaders so only the dimension appears. Then add text before or after it. Unless you have a paragraph it should be ok.
