The tolerance value is strange

The tolerance value is strange

If the first digit of the tolerance value is 0 while creating a geometrical tolerance, 0 is not expressed and appears as shown in the figure below.

Why is this?

Yes, it is possible to set up the model and drawing environment to be consistent. You need to make sure the config.pro settings and the drawing.dtl options are set up as you need them.

 

Refer to this as a start for detail option control:

Most likely your Creo environment is set up to use a dimension standard that does not use leading zeros.

 

There are config options used to support the use of ASME Y14.5 standard as well that will control of leading and trailing zeros.

However, if geometric tolerance is entered in modeling and geometric tolerance is activated in model annotation in drawing, 0 is included and comes out as shown below.

I want to work consistently, but is there any way to set it up?

Well, per ASME Y14.5, for METRIC, there is a zero to the left of the decimal for all sub 1 unit (MM or CM) values, and the zeroes to the right of the last non-zero digit to the right of the decimal point are removed.

I.E.:

0.25 +/-0.1

 

For INCH, there is NO zero to the left of the decimal point on sub 1 unit values and the zeroes to the right of the last non-zero digit to the right of the decimal point are NOT removed, and the tolerance has to have the same number of digits to the right as the dimension itself.

I.E.:

.250 +/-.100

 

As mentioned, you have some settings wrong, and need to fix that, especially if you're doing dual dimensioning (got to set primary units, etc.).

 

Best of luck!

Thanks!!! Have a nice day!!!
