The easiest way is to add a driven dimension in the drawing (add dimension) and set the tolerance and use the Tolerance Only option in the Dim Properties and prefixing the alpha character.

But there has to be an easier way.

Which method did you use, Blue?

Is there certain letter that you are going to be putting in the dimension (i.e. parameter names) or are you just going to assign them on the fly?

If is is parameters:

(in the dimension text) &O (letter o for owning the dimension - and cancelling the actual dimension), space, &parameter_name

&O &parameter_name1

else:

(in the dimension text) &O, space, A (letter you want in the dimension)

&O A

Then set the tolerance in the tolerance box, or type it after either of the strings above.

&O &parameter_name1 +/-.005

Thanks, Dale
