Dimension Tolerances within hole table

Dimension Tolerances within hole table

It would be extremely useful to have the full dimension controls for the x and y dimensions within a hole table.  I would like to be able to control the tolerance of each dimension as if it was not in the hole table.  The ability to control the percision does little good if you need to designate critical dimensions or need tolerance outside of the standard specified ones.  I have a hard time understanding why they are treated differently than other dimensions in the drawing, they are dimensions after all.  If my searching every where I can think of to find those controls failed and they do exist, they should be easier to find.  Plus, there are two ways to modify the hole specifications within the table.  One by editing the hole callout, within the standard diologue box, as well as editing the text.

 

The hole table controls just need to be finished and full functionality given.

 

Thank You.

Totally agree, this feature is not enough finished in my point of view.

I have continued to be plagued with this problem, and have been searching for a work around.  I have also tried to drive a tolerance into the table by tolerancing the hole or feature within the part model.  This still does not work.  I realize I could dimension features and holes normally, however, in my case for the particular part I would have an extremely confusing drawing with so many extension lines for every feature covering the entire view.

 

Hopefully Autodesk will accept this as an idea to incoporate soon since the dimesnions in the table are, in my case, nearly useless.

Allowing full access to edit the xdim/ydim tolerances would also give me the ability to this.

Yes Please. This would be a very welcome addition. Did this all the time in SolidWorks and really haven't found a work around for Inventor.

Here we are in mid 2023 and another incredibly critical function still missing from Inventor...
