Linking Tolerances in 3D Model to Tolerances in the Drawing

Aaron Gradeen May 24, 2017 9:53 AM

If I create a simple part file which is a pin, I apply a tolerance on the diameter of the circle used to extrude that solid part. Is there a way to link that tolerance to the tolerance which shows up for that diameter dimension in the drawing? It looks like the tolerance has to be redefined in the drawing. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Are you using "Insert-Model Items-Entire model" to put in your dimensions?

Hi Aaron,
I use "Model items" to bring tolerances from 3D model to 2D drawing. I not sure if there is a way to bring tolerances when dimensioning using "Smart Dimensioning" in 2D.

  Thanks Tony and Sachin. I was only using smart dimensioning. This is exactly what I was looking for.
