Is there a way to add a tolerance to hole note?

A couple years ago Fusion added the hole and thread note feature for dimensioning drawings. This is a nice feature, but there doesn't seem to be any way to add a tolerance to this call-out. I get that it is essentially a text note, rather than a dimension but it still would be useful if there was a way to add the tolerance. Is there anything I am missing, or is this simply not something that is available?

 

thanks

Kevin

Hi @kevin399ML 

 

You are right, the note is reading the information from the model feature. But you can add additional text to the note, as shown below.

 

Putting the following text in +0.1^-0.1 could give you the tolerance you are looking for.

Thanks! I had no idea these text formatting options were available.

I'm probably just old fashioned, but I sure wish there was a good ole printed manual for Fusion. I guess it would just get out dated too quickly with the pace of improvements to the software.

Hi @ClintBrown3D this is still the case, are there any plans to add tolerances to the hole note? This would be especially great given the new hole/shaft tolerance option. 
What would be even better would be to be able to set these tolerances in the 3D the way you can in inventor, and pull the tolerance information to the drawing notes that way 🙂 Are there any plans to add tolerances to the 3D space?
