Can you share the related files?

Your table is going to get crowded quickly if that is where they need to be added.

Tomas, I have been trying to get your request to work and I really don't like the limitations for family tables and repeat regions. I can have it "look" good but then I loose associatively.

Once I give a dimension a new symbol (A - for instance), I cannot seem to extract the TP and TM values for their own column because the "A" is now attached to the TP and TM values.

I just learned that Pro/E, WF, Creo cannot superscript/subscript variables, which leaves out properly, or cleanly formatted PlusMinus dimension tolerances or even limit dimensions.

So what I have is many repeat regions in the table with a column next to the dimension that has the text entered to represent the tolerance:

+.05

-.02

With formatting the text style justifying the text in the value column to the right, and the tolerance column to the left, it all looks good once you erase the line between the two.

Of course, now you also have to be very careful about sorting the independent regions.

There are other ways, or course, but they are all manual or very much non-associative. Funny how you can make a normal table with a dimension symbol, and it shows exactly as you see it on the face of the drawing. But this is not the case when you make it a repeat region.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanx for your reply. Since it is true that the table becomes too crowded I think the best solution will be as following:
