Dimensions and tolerance

Hi All,

I have been playing with the dimension tools.  Cool Stuff.

If you want to stay on the machinist's good side, you will include the tolerance with the dimension.  Not all dimensions need to be as dead accurate as others.
 
Question:  how do I include the tolerance with the dimension?  For example, how would I do this?

     |<---------1.000 +- 0.010 ----------->|

Many thanks,
-T

Bit of a late reply, but for now could this help?



Select the Dimension, go to Modify - Properties and make adjustments in the open dialog window.

Yes it does.  Thank you!

I was going to ask how to ad text and the original dimension. But while waiting for the forum registration mail to come through I found it:

Use <> as a placeholder for the original dimension in the label text field.
This is useful for example to add a note reference to a dimension like:
<-- 123 N1 -->
to do that put "<> N1" in the label field.
