on each dimension is attached tolerance automatically. How I can remove tolerance permanently?

Dimensions (numbers and arrows) became very large on the screen, and old dimensions became fixed size. How to change dimensions in the sketch to be the same size after any zoom?

Thanks
 
To remove the 'Tolerance' annotation from existing sketch dimensions you'll need to select all of the dimensions, press MB3, select the 'Style' option and in the General tab set the desired Tolerance option, in your case, to 'No Tolerance', and hit OK. Now if you want to change the behavior so that the Tolerance annotation is not being included when you add additional dimensions to your Sketch, then while in the Sketcher, go to...

Preferences -> Annotation -> Dimensions

...and again set the 'Precision and Tolerance' option to 'No Tolerance' and hit OK.

As for controlling the automatic size behavior for Sketch dimensions, while in your Sketch, go to...

Task -> Sketch Style...

...and toggle ON the 'Fixed Text Height on Screen' option and then hit OK.
