Sets the method for calculating the tolerance. (DIMTOL (page 1286) system
variable)
 None: Does not add a tolerance. The
DIMTOL (page 1286) system variable is
set to 0.
 Symmetrical: Adds a plus/minus expression of tolerance in which a single
value of variation is applied to the dimension measurement. A
plus-or-minus sign appears after the dimension. Enter the tolerance value
in Upper Value. The
DIMTOL (page 1286) system variable is set to 1. The
DIMLIM (page 1273) system variable is set to 0.
 Deviation: Adds a plus/minus tolerance expression. Different plus and
minus values of variation are applied to the dimension measurement. A
plus sign (+) precedes the tolerance value entered in Upper Value, and a
minus sign (-) precedes the tolerance value entered in Lower Value. The
DIMTOL (page 1286) system variable is set to 1. The DIMLIM (page 1273) system
variable is set to 0.
 Limits: Creates a limit dimension. A maximum and a minimum value are
displayed, one over the other. The maximum value is the dimension value
plus the value entered in Upper Value. The minimum value is the
dimension value minus the value entered in Lower Value. The
DIMTOL
(page 1286) system variable is set to 0. The DIMLIM (page 1273) system variable
is set to 1.
 Basic: Creates a basic dimension, which displays a box around the full
extents of the dimension. The distance between the text and the box is
stored as a negative value in the DIMGAP (page 1271) system variable.
