Kris,

Go to the Tools menu, Environment and uncheck the Dimension Tolerances setting under Display, then click on OK at the bottom of the Environment dialog.

This can be controlled with a config setting (options) of "Tol_Display" set to "No".

You can also use "Tools" "Customize Screen" to add a button to your toolbar to toggle the tol display on / off.

(drag the "Tolerances" function / button to an appropriate toolbar in your Pro/E screen so it is there as a toggle)

I'm going through the PTC Precision LMS tutorials and every single one of the models I open has limits set - I can't change dims as instructed through the tutorials. I'm assuming this is template driven but I do not know how to shut it off.

I would hope that there is a way to change them all to nominal display at the same time, but until we find out you can do this:

right-click on the dimension, select Properties, then set the tolerance to Nominal for each dim one at a time.

Yeah, I saw that *sobs*

It's getting very frustrating doing this training when it is not working correctly. Their instructions to set up the whole process on how to do this training is incorrect as is the config.pro file and how it points to the templates they want you to use for the training.
