Hi Guys,

 

How do I change these values? I've seen a post saying its Linear_tol, but this doesnt seem to change anything.

 

now that we are testing out MBD, I'm noticing that in 3d these are not what I want shown for tolerances.

 

 

I want it to match my 2d drawings as:

.xxxx =+-.0005

.xxx = +-.001

.xx = +-.005

.x = +-.01

 

This is what Ive tried added to my config,pro with no luck in changing this. Im assuming my formatting on the config is not correct?

Hi,

contents of bottom right corner is hardcoded, you cannot change it. You can verify this information with PTC Support.

The linear_tol settings from your config.pro - these define the tolerances in a brand new, empty part.  And one that is set for the ANSI/ASME tolerancing standard.

AFAIK, there is no way to change these values once you create a model.

So if you are using a "template" part when starting a new part, then you are stuck with whatever settings the maker was using when creating that template.

Note that this schedule of tolerance as a function of # of decimal places isn't shown if you switch to the ISO/DIN tolerancing standard:

also, I think your linear_tol settings that match your drawing standard should be:

linear_tol 1 0.01 2

linear_tol 2 0.005 3

linear_tol 3 0.001 3

linear_tol 4 0.0005 4

which shows up as:

on my screen.
