If it is a created dimension in the drawing, you can use the @o as described above and to get the tolerance, you can use the superscript/subscript functionality.@O 100 {2:@++.05 @#}{3:@--.02 @#}

Don't for the the @O ("oh" not zero - my trick to remember this is that you are going to own the dimension yourself by overiding it - a bunch of O's).

So @O 13.375" should show up as 13.375"

At least this is old school and should be done in the display tab. Not sure of the overide feature there.

Thanks, Dale
