Tolerances

I see that in R6, in the parameters, there are a couple of new columns
that on the surface appear to be really useful, but I'm at a loss as to
how one might use them.

The one I'm looking at is entitled "Tol.". I would have thought this
might be useful in that one could specify the tolerance of a feature in
the modelling stage and have it carried through to the drawing.
However, I'm completely perplexed as to why it is there and what one
does with it. Online help appears to have been written using the
'Enigma Machine' so it hasn't helped.

Has anybody figured this one out?

I've suggest the same thing (same wording even) a number of times...
