To create a designation of geometric tolerance and placement, use the Geometric Tolerance command 
.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Specify an object to set the geometric tolerance designation. The name of selected object is displayed in the Objects field on the Parameter Panel. In the graphic area, a phantom of the tolerance table will appear.
2.Specify the location of the tolerance marquee.
3.After indication of the marquee position, the Add Text subprocess will be launched. Generate a tolerance table. That is done the same way as when creating a designation of geometric tolerance and surface placement in the graphic document. Details...
4.If required, add to the tolerance table additional symbol — designation of the intersecting and/or orienting plane in the Sign group on the Parameters panel. The designation is a table similar to a tolerance table, with additional graphic symbols, and is located to the right of it. Cylindrical bodies, bodies of revolution, and flat objects are used to define intersecting and orientation planes.
5.After indication of the designated object, the position of the plane of designation is determined automatically. If necessary, you can change position of designation plane, by selecting a different base plane. For this purpose, group elements Placement are used.
6.The lower left corner of the tolerance frame coincides with the point defining the position of the designation. If you need to change the frame's position relative to the insertion point, activate the corresponding point of the Position element in the Parameters panel.
7.The tolerance frame is positioned horizontally. If you want the frame to be positioned vertically, enable the Vertical option.
8.The frame phantom displays eight characteristic points indicating possible branch locations. Create the required number of leader line branches. More...
Each new branch is created with an arrow. You can change the arrow type using the context menu of the characteristic dot at the end of the branch.
9.If necessary, set the name and color of the designation using the elements in the Properties section. More about color management of objects...
10.To complete the creation of the form tolerance symbol, click the Create object
button.
After completing the described actions, a geometric tolerance designation will appear in the graphic area and its icon will appear in the Design Tree.
11.To complete operation of the command, click Finish
