Question

Creo 2.0 - Attaching to Dimensions (Geo. Tol., notes, etc.)

I'm having trouble figuring out how to relate feature control frames and notes to dimensions as in the screen shot below. I was wondering if someone knew how the guy before me did it. The feature control frame is placed as a free note, but is somehow related to the dimension. The dimension allows room for it, and moves with it.

Thanks in advance,

Check Antonius answer in this thread and see if this is how it was done.

Thanks, Dale

If your in the annotate tab, right click on the dimension and them go to dsiplay.

You may see @[perp symbol]@[.0001@]@[A@]

It is appended text to the dimension, Matt. In the last tab of the dimension properties dialog is a multiline text editor. Open the Symbol pallete to select symbols. Each box entry needs to be delimited with @[ and @].

These are all separate features. The dimension is it's own feature driven from the model. The +/-.0001 is a note, the feature control frame is it's own feature also. Editing it brings up the geo. tol. properties box. Thanks though.

It is always hard to know what you are looking at when you see it on a drawing.

The .0001 tolerance really should have been a tolerance as part of the dimension. If you don't know to change the detail config to show tolerances, people tend to just type it in.

The feature control block can be "attached" to the dimension through the GTOL dialog. But again, you have to know how to properly define the datums and the GTOL features in the model (or as drawing features) to attach them to the dimension.
