Tolerances disappear

[dakeb1]

Hi Guys,


In my drawing I have a created dimension I want to override with a different value, so use the @o option in the text. Trouble is, I want to keep the tolerance values, and when I override the main dimension value the tolerances disappear.


Anyone know how I can keep them?


Thanks,


Dave

In created dimensions, @o overrides the text not the dimension value. If you want the tolerance as well you will need to add that to the text. It does not work for shown dimensions.

You can create superscripts & subscripts with the @+text@-text@# notation.

Thanks Guys. I wouldn't have known about the text notation types.

The super and subscripts is something I need to search the help for about once every 2 years, I don't use it very often.

Yeah, Proe help is awful and not intuitive. And I dont see why ProE makes you type the tolerances in anyway. If they are alreadyinput in the boxesbut you override the given dimension with @o, it's pretty obvious you want to retain them, and if you don't you can just delete them.
