2d Drawings, Dimension tolerance problem.

HughesTooling — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 21:10:40 GMT

I just had to recreate an old drawing from 1979, units where inches. First imperial drawing I've done, all tolerances are limits most 0.004" total. The problem is each edit defaults to +\-0.010" so wrong every time. Is there any setting for this or are there any plans for Fusion to remember the last setting.

Hi @HughesTooling!

Have you tried going into Preferences under General > Drawing and changing the linear dimensional precision? I wasn't able to reproduce the jump back to 0.010" by lowering the precision, but I think it's worth a try if you haven't already done that yet.

I'm not talking about editing the same dimension but going through all the dimensions on the drawing and adding a tolerance. So the drawing has about 15 to 20 dimensions each one needs editing and every time it defaults to +/-0.01. This is with the ASME standard design model and drawing set to inches.

Creating an ISO drawing is even worse, it defaults to +/-0.1"

Also changing the precision doesn't change the tolerance default, here set to 5 places and still +/- 0.01"

Hi Mark,

Yes, you are correct on both counts. The precision issue looks like a bug. The resulting dimension is correct (provided I have trailing zeros turned on) but the values displayed in the Dimension Edit dialog should also reflect this precision.

As far as persisting the last used values, I agree this would be a time saver vs. re-entering the same values over again. Thank you for bringing these items up. I am getting something in the backlog for both of these.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

i'm working on engineering drawings currently and i've understood that after marking all the dimensions on the drawing, i've to individually choose the dimensions and add a tolerance. It is time consuming when the drawing has lot of dimensions in it and each one needs editing. It's not so clear on how to add drawing file sheets to an existing one.
