Adding a tolerance to all dimensions in a drawing

Is there a way to place a tolerance on all the dimensions in drawing either automatically before dimensioning or after I've placed my dimensions?

 

Such as here:

Normally this information is either a placed text callout in the drawing or part of the title block.

Hi,

 

In much the same way as threads have been standardised in fusion, the request has been made to the developers

to offer tolerances for fits. Hopefully as more people request this stuff they will consider it.

 

Right now it is a note in the documentation or you model it exactly.

 

Cheers

Hi @rjeAT6XG 

 

The current workflow is to double-click the dimension once placed, then add a tolerance, we support multiple tolerance types.

Is your question more around setting this up before you place the dimension? So the ability to place multiple dimensions with a +-0.2 tolerance?

Yes, either set it up before I start dimensioning or select ten dimensions and add the tolerance to all of them.

Hi @rjeAT6XG 

 

Bear with us. We have a dimension format painter in the works. This allows you to “copy” the tolerance information from one dimension to another (or multiple dimensions).

 

I'd love to hear from you directly, and to get your thoughts around this. If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar , please book a 30-minute session with me, and we can chat on Zoom (Note that times are in 24:00 format so 03:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm).

I booked a time.  Thanks!

 

A format painter sounds like a great idea.  I hope we see it soon.
