◦ Middle—Sets the dimension value to the nominal value plus the mean of the upper and lower tolerance values.
◦ Lower—Sets the dimension value to its minimum (generates geometry based on a nominal dimension value minus the tolerance).
◦ Nominal—Sets the dimension value to nominal (generates geometry based on exact ideal dimensions).
