Associative Draft Dimension (add#) Default Tolerance

Associative Draft Dimension (add#) Default Tolerance

Hello
I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to how the default tolerance for the add# dimension type is established?

 

Background:

• Not using tolerance tables - inch based part

• I understand the difference between add#, d# and ad# type dimensions and where they are stored

• Windchill 10.1

 

Our current company config is set as:

draw_models_read_only no

create_drawing_dims_only yes

 

The "added" dimension in the drawing is add# and the default tolerance is not that of the model tolerance.


if the config option is set to

create_drawing_dims_only no

 

The "added" dimension in a drawing is now ad# and the default tolerance comes from the model tolerance as expected.

 

The config option (create_drawing_dims_only yes) was set to yes to only store added dimensions in the drawings. This helped reduce the number of dialog box actions by Windchill relative to the solid model (check out/revise, etc) since ad# dimension types changes the model.

 

Thanks
