Tolerancing

Applying tolerances to features

Tolerances are applied to feature measurements using tolerance screens. The method of applying toler-

ances to features is diagrammed below and is nearly identical for all tolerance types. In the following

example, a true position tolerance is applied to a circle feature.

Select a feature from the feature list

Touch the desired feature in the feature list to select it. In this example

a circle is selected.

Select the desired fit algorithm

Touch the Fit choice field to display a menu of available fit algorithms, then touch the desired fit algorithm

button. In this example, the fit algorithm is changed from Best Fit to Least Radial.

Display the TOL screen

Touch the Tol screen button to

display the tolerance screen.
