Unit Precision . Select the number of digits after the decimal point from the list for the dimension value.

Tolerance Precision . Select the number of digits after the decimal point for tolerance values.

Classification . (Fit, Fit with tolerance, or Fit (tolerance only)) When you select either Hole Fit or Shaft Fit (below), the list for the other category (Hole Fit or Shaft Fit) is filtered based on the classification.

Hole Fit and Shaft Fit . (Fit, Fit with tolerance, or Fit (tolerance only)) Select from the lists, or type any text.

NOTE: Bilateral tolerances (Maximum Variation and Minimum Variation) are available in the Fit with tolerance or Fit (tolerance only) type if you specify Hole Fit or Shaft Fit, but not both.

Text Controls:

• Add Parentheses . You can display driven (reference) dimensions with or without parentheses. They are displayed with parentheses by default.
  
  

• Center Dimension . When you drag dimension text between the extension lines, the dimension text snaps between the center of the extension lines.
  
  

• Inspection Dimension .

• Offset Text . Offsets dimension text from the dimension line using a leader.
  
  

Text. The dimension appears automatically in the center text box, represented by <DIM>. Place the pointer anywhere in the text box to insert text.

Holes use the format specified in the txcalloutformat.txt file. See DimXpert Size Dimension , Callout format file, for more information.

Justify. You can justify text horizontally and, for some standards, you can justify the leader vertically.

• Left Justify , Center Justify , Right Justify .

• Top Justify , Middle Justify , Bottom Justify .

Symbols. Click to place the pointer where you want a symbol. Click a symbol icon or click More to access the Symbol Library .

Use caution when adding symbols to DimXpert dimensions because the symbols may change the fundamental definition of the dimensions and tolerances.
