Choosing the Standard

This task shows you how to set the standard you need for tolerancing your part.
You must choose a standard before creating the first annotation in a document. See also Standards and Standard Properties.

    The Options dialog box is displayed

  1. Click Mechanical Design then Functional Tolerancing and Annotation in the left-hand column.
    See Tolerancing setting for further detail.

Note that this choice of standard must be expressed prior to specifying any tolerance. After any creation in the workbench, the standard may be modified but the corresponding syntax and semantic variation will not be taken automatically into consideration.
