lower tolerance values can be aligned using either the operational symbols or
decimal separators.
You can also control zero suppression as you can with the primary and
alternate units. Suppressing zeros in lateral tolerances has the same effect as
suppressing them in the primary and alternate units. If you suppress leading
zeros, 0.5 becomes .5, and if you suppress trailing zeros, 0.5000 becomes 0.5.

2 In the Dimension Style Manager, select the style you want to change.
Click Modify.
3 In the Modify Dimension Style dialog box, Tolerances tab, under
Tolerance Format, select a method from the Method list, and then do
one of the following:
If you select Limits, enter upper and lower tolerance deviation in the
Upper Value and Lower Value boxes.
If you select Symmetrical tolerances, Lower Value is not available,
because you need only one tolerance value.
If you select Basic, enter a value in Offset from Dim Line (on the Text
tab) to represent the gap between the text and its enclosing box.
