To Modify Dimensional Tolerances in a Note
You can create a note in which you substitute a dimensional tolerance, entered as a parameter, by its value. Use the format:
&linear_tol_0_0
to display the tolerance at one decimal place. Add a "0" to the string for each decimal place you want to the note to read. For example, the above format reads as "0.1".
&linear_tol_0_00 reads as "0.01".
You can use a similar format to include an angular tolerance value in a note. For example, type [&angular_tol_0_0] to display "0.5" (the default for one decimal). [&angular_tol_0_00] to display 0.05 etc.
Because the system includes tolerances in a note as parameters, associativity exists between the tolerance value in a note and a model. When you change tolerance values in a note, the system updates the default tolerance table in Part mode.
To modify the tolerance value in a note
1. Select the note.
2. Right-click and click Properties on the shortcut menu. The Note Properties dialog box opens.
3. Type a new value for the tolerance. Click OK.

Tolerance tables do not affect thread dimensions. Thread dimensions come into the model having the same tolerances with which the system stored them.
