Question

Adding tolerances to dimensions in sketcher

Is it possible to tolerance my dimensions in the sketch as I make the parts?  Will they then come into my drawing toleranced?  I have tol_display set to yes and I have maintain_limit_tol_nominal also set to yes.  What else am I missing to allow this?  I have searched for this but I think it is too basic for seasoned veterans.

Thanks

It is not possible to add tolerances to dimensions in the sketcher.

I am relatively new to Creo.  Slowly leaving SolidWorks.  I have two other questions that you may know the answer to

A)  Can you change the direction of an Offset?  When I use offset, it only wants to project inward.  I am cutting a casting window and want to use offset to do the machining.

B)  When I use Project, it projects only the projects a portion of the feature.  I then want to drag it to where I want but the endpoints are locked.  They show red dots but I cannot move them.  Is there a way to drag a projected line once it is dropped?

Thanks

I'm not sure about what "offset" you are referring to. Possible just keying in a negative number will reverse the direction.

don't believe you can drag a projected edge, there are likely other ways to do what you are trying to do though.

You might want to post separate questions for these that include screen shots to help clarify the situation and desired results.
