Tolerance and Parameter Enhancements

Individual model states now respect tolerance settings. Parameter tolerance access and Excel support is enhanced.

Tolerance settings for each Model State

Part and assembly model states now support unique tolerance settings for each state.

New Tolerance type and enhanced access in Parameters

Previously, the Tolerance column in Parameters was limited to changing to Upper, Median, Nominal, or Lower. You can now click in a Tolerance row and click the pencil icon to access the full Tolerance dialog.

The Tolerance Type Basic is added to the Type selection. You can now promote and synchronize a Basic tolerance with 3D Annotations and recover in drawings.

The Basic tolerance dimension is also available for sketch dimensions.
