Generation of a tolerance table |
Scroll |
To enter a caption for the geometric tolerance designation, use the subprocess of text input. This subprocess is started automatically after specifying the insertion point for the tolerance frame in the graphic area. You can also start this subprocess manually. To that end, click in the Text field on the Parameter Panel, or press any alphanumeric key on the keyboard.
While the subprocess is running, the cell of the tolerance table are available for text input. By default, the table contains four cells. To generate a table of the required structure, use commands from the context menu of the cells.
Elements of the designation caption are input into the table cells. Double-clicking any cell opens a respective user menu:
•the first cell displays the conventional designations and the names of tolerance types,
•the second cell displays the numerical values of tolerances,
•the third and the subsequent cells display the uppercase letters of the Russian alphabet for designation of datums.
|
To quickly switch between the cells, you can use the <Tab> key. If the cursor is in the last cell, then pressing the <Tab> key creates a new line in the table. |
Above the tolerance table, the additional parameter panel is displayed. It contains buttons for selection of a logogram or a character, as well as elements duplicating the elements of the Parameter Panel (the Create object and Finish buttons). The selected character or signage is added to a cell of the table in which the cursor is placed. See the table for description of elements.

Reference |
The button allows to insert a link to the designation of datum existing in the document. After pressing this button, a dialog for setting up the parameters of link appears on the screen. |

Create Object |
The button ends the process of generation of tolerance table with the saved changes. |

If necessary, change the text parameters in cells (the size, character color, etc.) by means of the elements of the Parameter Toolbar.
Having completed the table generation, press the Create Object 
button .

If text parameters in all the feature control frames and placement in the document differ from the current default parameters, then it is recommended not to configure each label separately, but to set required parameters as default. For that, there is the Shape deviations and datum section of the dialog for setting up the current document. |
