Assign Tolerance
The Assign Tolerance tool sets multiple tolerances onto faces and edges of Reference Data.
Benefits
The Assign Tolerance tool is useful for:
- Setting multiple tolerances onto faces or edges of Reference Data
- Comparing Reference Data according to tolerance criteria
How to Use
How to set multiple tolerances onto faces of Reference Data
Make sure that a CAD object is visible in the Model View.
In the CAD tab, in the setting group, click Assign Tolerance or go to MENU > Tools > CAD Tools > Assign Tolerance to reassign tolerance to faces of the body. Click Add Group to add a new group and check that a new dialog tree named Group 2 is added.
Click Group 2 to select faces and assign a new tolerance to the selected faces. Specify the minimum tolerance as -0.1mm and the maximum tolerance to +0.1mm and change the color to blue. Select faces.
Click Add Group to create a new group and check that a new dialog tree named Group 3 is added.
Click Group 3 to select faces and assign a new tolerance to the selected faces. Specify the minimum tolerance as -0.2mm and the maximum tolerance to +0.2mm and change the color to green. Select faces.
Click OK. Check that assigned tolerance ranges are added in the Colorbar.
Options in Detail
Add Group – Creates a new group.
Group Using Driven Tolerance – Lists all boundary edges automatically that will have the same tolerances of adjacent faces when target Reference Data is a surface body. Boundary edges follow tolerances from neighboring faces by default.
Group X – Lists faces or edges that have identical tolerances. To add faces or edges to the group, click Group X and select entities. When assigned faces or edges need to be moved into another tolerance group, click another Group X button and select the entities.
