I have a complete drawing all dims are in place. Now I need to add a couple tol callout. Where do I find the tool to turn "on" the tolerance in a dimension? Thanks!

You need to add the config.pro option 'tol_display'. Set this to 'Yes'. When you go to properties for you dimension, the 'Tolerance Mode' drop down box should be availiable (which I assume must be greyed out for you).
The thing I don't like about this is that it turns on tolerances for ALL dimensions in the drawing. You also need to set tol_mode to "nominal". Then you can modify indiviual dimensions as needed. The default I believe is "limits".
Oh yeah, I remember that one. When I first added tol_display, all my dimensions had tolerances on. It was a case of 'yeah thats what I want, but not realy'. Need to set tol_mode also to nominal as above.
