You can use most editing commands to change feature control frames, and
you can snap to them using the object snap modes. You can also edit them
with grips.
NOTE Unlike dimensions and leaders, geometric tolerances cannot be associated
with geometric objects.
You can also create tolerances. For more information about creating and
working with an annotative tolerances, see
Create Annotative Dimensions
and Tolerances
on page 779.

To create geometric tolerances
1 Click Annotate tab ➤ Dimensions panel ➤ Tolerance.
2 In the Geometric Tolerance dialog box, click the first square under Sym
and select a symbol to insert.
3 Under Tolerance 1, click the first black box to insert a diameter symbol.
4 In the Text box, enter the first tolerance value.
5 To add a material condition (optional), click the second black box and
click a symbol in the Material Conditions dialog box to insert it.
6 In the Geometric Tolerance dialog box, add a second tolerance value
(optional) in the same way as the first tolerance value.
7 Under Datum 1, Datum 2, Datum 3, enter the datum reference letter.
8 Click the black box to insert a material condition symbol for each datum
reference.
9 In the Height box, enter a height.
10 Click the Projected Tolerance Zone box to insert the symbol.
11 In the Datum Identifier box, add a datum value.
12 Click OK.
13 In the drawing, specify a location for the feature control frame.
