You can add an inspection dimension to any type of dimension object; it is
composed of a frame and text values. The frame for an inspection dimension
is made up of two parallel lines and the end is round or square. The text values
are separated by vertical lines. An inspection dimension can contain up to
three different fields of information: inspection label, dimension value, and
inspection rate.
Inspection Dimension Fields
Inspection Label Text used to identify individual inspection dimensions. The
label is located in the leftmost section of the inspection dimension.
Dimension Value Dimension value that is displayed is the same value before
the inspection dimension is added. The dimension value can contain
tolerances, text (both prefix and suffix), and the measured value. The
dimension value is located in the center section of the inspection dimension.
Inspection Rate Text used to communicate the frequency that the dimension
value should be inspected, expressed as a percentage. The rate is located in
the rightmost section of the inspection dimension.
You can add inspection dimensions to any type of dimension. The current
values of an inspection dimension are displayed on the Properties palette,
under Misc. The values include the properties that are used to control the look
of the frame, and the text for both the label and rate values.
To create an inspection dimension
