Tolerance is not showing?

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I would like to put different tolerances depending on the value and tried something like below but the tolerance is not showing on the drawing. Can anyone advise me what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

If (oParam.Value <= 15) Then
    oParam.Tolerance.SetToSymmetric(0.1)
ElseIf (oParam.Value >15) AndAlso (oParam.Value <= 30) Then
    oParam.Tolerance.SetToSymmetric(0.15)
Else
    oParam.Tolerance.SetToSymmetric(0.2)
End If

Btw I can see tolerances are correctly applied in the parameter of .ipt but they are not shown in the drawing.

hi, could you upload the complete code to investigate?

Hi Arthur,

Thank you for your reply.

I wrote code something like this.

Dim oValue As Inventor.Parameter
oValue = params.Item("value.Name")
oValue.Tolerance.SetTosymmetric("0.2 mm")

The complete code is a bit long but you can find it on my github. See line 90.

hi,

how is your dimensions in drawing created ? it is retrived from model like :

or placed directly in drawing ? - if yes then tolerance will not occur in your drawing.

Hi Marcin,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried "Retrieve Model Annotations" as you suggested and it works now! Thank you!!
