Tolerance Dimension Confusion /Potnetial Bug (Inventor 2025)

[3DAli]

Hi, 

I just noticed this accidentally, it might have been the case in earlier versions as well, both dimensions are pointing to Model Value but showing two different values. The one with tolerances is retrieved from the model (from Sketch) and the 2 in-one is done as a regular annotation dimension in the drawing,  the tolerance is set to "upper" for size evaluation (see below). so this is confusing, the expectation is when you retrieve the dimension from the model, it should override the "2 in" to "1.75" or it must say "Nominal Value", not "Model Value" in the dimension edit dialogue box.

Hi Ali,

This behavior has been there. It is not unique to 2025. Do you have an example showing otherwise?

Many thanks!

Thank you @johnsonshiue, I think you are correct, I just was not sure. maybe we can submit an idea to the idea station about this.
