Dim Tolerance

(1/1)

Martin-Y:
If you set your dimension tolerance to Symmetrical and precision to 0.00, upper value to 0.05 then draw a linear dim plus an angular dim the linear dim shows the +-0.05 but the angular only shows 0.
Any ideas, I cannot find a variable that controls this.

hendie:
look under the primary units tab... what do you have the precision set to in the angular dimensions section ?


would it be 0 by any chance ?

Martin-Y:
Spot on as usual. However there is discrepancy between linear and angular. As my user pointed out, if you don't want 2 decimal places on the dimension but you still want to show 0.05 as a deviation it still seems possible only on the linear, not the angular.

hendie:
but if you don't want to show 2 decimal places... how can you show a 0.05 tolerance ??
am I misunderstanding ?

Martin-Y:
Your right it does seem illogical to go for that accuracy on deviation without giving the accuracy on the primary unit and I don't understand why he needs this.
It is still strange that Acad seems to allow this control of Linear but not Angular.
Hopefully he's happy with previous reply.
