Pre-defined Formats 
for Tolerance and Dimension Values  

Some basic formats are provided by default for dimension tolerance and value display. Some of these pre-defined formats can be modified while others cannot. All pre-defined formats can be de-activated (i.e. taken out of the list of available styles).
Note that you can create or remove instances under the Tolerance Formats node from the Tools > Standard editor.

Modifiable formats

They appear in the default standard files provided by Dassault Systemes, just as any company defined style would appear. They can be modified or deleted using the Standards Editor, or de-activated (i.e. taken out of the list of available styles) using the Allowed* parameters described in the  General Parameters section.

The modification of a tolerance format is only applied to documents created after the tolerance format modification.

To modify the tolerance format description of an existing document, you must:

  1. Open this document
  2. In the Tools > Standard editor, select the Drafting category and the ISO.xml file
  3. Unfold the Tolerance Formats node
  4. Create a new instance with the convenient format.

Non-modifiable formats

They are not defined in the standard file, but in the code itself. They cannot be modified, but can be de-activated (i.e. taken out of the list of available styles) using the Allowed* parameters described in the  General Parameters section. All styles provided up to V5R8 are of this type.

Alphanumerical and Value Display Formats 
 

Note that for these two types:

  • the 0 tolerance type is not available for user-defined descriptions.

  • the dimension value and alphanumerical tolerance are computed in accordance with the selected norm.
