Add tolerance
A geometric tolerance added to an element defines the tolerance area within which the element must be. Select the method of adding the tolerance. The following options are available for adding a tolerance:
- Face/Line - Select the surface or shape line from the projection, after defining the data.
- Also to dimension line - Place the marking above another marking, that is already in the drawing. The lower row defines the place for the upper row. The software updates the location automatically when pressing F5 for example.
Example: The part's surface is the basic element. Place the basic element (A) on top of a shape line and drag it to it's location. Alternatively, draw a reference line to extent the shape line (B).
- With letter - Select a connection surface in the projection, after defining the data.
- You can use auxiliary text adding functions when positioning the mark in the drawing. For example: Meander Line
