Hole Toletance

How to give tolerance to Hole hole diameter using VB / VBA.
I tried some thing with HoleSample but I didn't succeed

Need help please !!!

You don't actually assign a tolerance to the hole but set the tolerance on
the parameter that controls the diameter of the hole. The code below
illustrates adding a limits tolerance to the first hole in a part.

Public Sub AddToleranceToHole()
Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument
Set oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

' Get the first hole in the part.
Dim oHole As HoleFeature
Set oHole = oPartDoc.ComponentDefinition.Features.HoleFeatures.Item(1)

' Get the parameter controlling the diameter of the hole.
Dim oDiamParam As Parameter
Set oDiamParam = oHole.HoleDiameter

' Set a tolerance for the parameter.
Call oDiamParam.Tolerance.SetToDeviation(".002", "-.004")
End Sub

Thanks Brian,

I have tried the code and worked good for SetToDeviation but when I try to modify as below it gives error Invalied Procedure Call or argument. what could be wrong in this?

Dim oDiamPara As Parameter
Set oDiamPara = oHole.HoleDiameter

Call oDiamPara.Tolerance.SetToFits(kLimitsFitsShowTolerance, "H7", "N/A")

This appears to be a bug with the SetToFits method. This should work:

Call oDiamPara.Tolerance.SetToFits(kLimitsFitsShowTolerance, "H7", "")

I've logged this as an issue so it can be addressed.

Today I installed SP2 for IV-11 , ReadMe for SP2-under API, Fixed the Following issues : it is given that
The Tolerance.SetToFits method does not use the shaft tolerance if the hole tolerance is set to "N/A".

After installing I tried the code
Call oDiamPara.Tolerance.SetToFits(kLimitsFitsShowTolerance, "H7", "") and
Call oDiamPara.Tolerance.SetToFits(kLimitsFitsShowTolerance, "H7",
"N/A")

but both did not worked. is this issue really fixed or to be fixed.?

It's to be fixed. I also tested it in Inventor 11 SP2. I don't know when
it will be fixed but I did file the report so it can be priortized with the
other issues.

Hi Brian,

Has this bug been solved yet??

if it's fixed... Which Hotfix is the one to install??

This is listed as fixed and will be in Inventor 2008, and assuming there
will be an SP3 for Inventor 11, it will be in that.

Brian,
Is there a way to tolerance bearing pocket bores to represent fit standards already present in Inventor? For example, I might want a k5 fit if the housing rotates or a g6 fit if the housing is stationary. Any ideas how I might write this type of code? Thanks.
