Geometric tolerance

 

 

 

 

This command sets the geometric tolerance of a shape.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select Tools > Annotations > Geometric Tolerance... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the plane on which to "write" the tolerance.

  2. Select the items to be toleranced.

  3. Specify if you need to add Above text.

  4. Validate by clicking .

 

Available Options:

 

 

 

  • Global modifier:

Allows to display the ACS or ALS modifier above the tolerance reference.

When the above text is a deport text of a dimension, it will be added after the specified tolerance reference.

ACS = Any Cross Section

ALS = Any Longitudinal Section

 

above text above the tolerance reference

above text following the tolerance reference

 

  • Leaders count:

Allows to display, above the geometric tolerance, the number of leaders when a tolerance is multi-leader.

 

 

 

  • Symbol:

Allows to select the symbol to display

 

  • Value:

Allows to define the tolerance value and other requires symbols

 

  • Format:

You can specify the format of the selected tolerance.

 

  • Datum feature system:

Select one or more reference items by clicking directly on their symbol, except for the shape tolerances (cylindricity, circularity, rectitude, planarity) not requiring a reference.

 

 

Select the orientation of the symbol if required. The orientation is the read direction.

 

Additional information:

 

The symbol remains legible during the dynamic rotations of the view.

When creating a geometric tolerance, TopSolid automatically toggles to Annotation Stage.

 

Modifications  :

 

To modify the symbol or a value, double-click in the corresponding check box and enter the new symbol or the new value. With the button Format, it is also possible to change : units, separator, precision, zeros, preview ...

To redefine the orientation of the symbol, if the one proposed during creation is unsuitable, or for any other modification, Edit the symbol with the popup menu in the Tolerances folder of the entities tree or directly on the symbol itself.

The "+" around the symbols enable you to add a check box or a new geometric tolerance.

The "x" enable you to cancel the new tolerance created.
