I have a driven dimension in a drawing to which I want to add a tolerance.If I highlight the dimension and right click properties, the tolerance mode is greyed out, so I can't choose symmetrical/limits/plus-minus etc. Any idea why this is?
If you decide you do not want tolerance display to always be on, then you can leave your config file as is. While inside the drawing you can set the tolerance display to be "on". You can find this option by right clicking in an open area of the drawing. Choose--> drawing setup--> drawing options to gain access to the specific drawing (*.dtl) file. Change this setting there and it will apply only to the drawing it is associated with...
This helped alot. For Pro-E WF3 this command is File--> Prepare--> drawing properties
Prohammy is right, of course...
