View ArticleRe: Creo 2.0 - Attaching to Dimensions (Geo. Tol., notes, etc.)
It is always hard to know what you are looking at when you see it on a drawing. The .0001 tolerance really should have been a tolerance as part of the dimension. If you don't know to change the detail...
View ArticleRe: Creo 2.0 - Attaching to Dimensions (Geo. Tol., notes, etc.)
The option is not always available as it is dependent on the tolerance type that is selected but when it is available, you will have the option to attach the GTOL to the dimension using the GTOL...

All my old 2000i drawings, and several imported Pro|E parts from internet libraries come in with limit dimensions assigned to all model dimensions. Very annoying. I just tested Creo 2.0. Assigning...

It's not a problem with converter. In all versions, default_tolerance_mode is an option also in config.pro and it also governs tolerance mode for parts' dimensions in 3D mode. Prior to Creo release...
View ArticleRe: Tolerance mode: Nominal vs Limits
Interesting. That means that dimensions that -were- changed to a different mode such as +-symetrical, they should not have changed on drawings or in model sketches when opened in later versions....

Yeah, I think they remain with changed tolerance mode, but I'm home now and have no way to verify this . And yes, I've been through this couple of times, but from different angle: I work for Polish VAR...
