Hello,
Can somebody advise me how to add tolerance limits to several dimensions in either drawing or a repeat region?
see folowing pics:
Thnx
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:
Wow, this is like pulling teeth! Okay, this should work with every version.
You can replace the dim text (@O) with the following string (it will format itself)
...and add the brackets separately by changing the text height to about 2.5x the normal text height. You can change the width to manage the gap between the brackets.
This looks better than any default condition that can be applied, even with Creo 2.0.
One more question regarding this issue:
I found that maybe it would be better to use a function "tolerance only" in the anotation properties (as shown below) instead to write the string.
but by default this can be done only at manualy added anotation, not with using "show model anotation":
Would it be possible to tick the "tolerance only" also for automatic anotations? maybe somewhere in config....
