Profile of Line

Profile of Surface

Parallel

Perpendicular

Angularity

Circular Runout

 

Total Runout

Position

Only the material conditions that are appropriate for the selected symbol are available.

Height

If you click Projected Tolerance , enter a projected tolerance zone (PTZ) in Height.

Tolerances

Type tolerance values for Tolerance 1 and Tolerance 2.

Unit Basis Tolerance

You can apply flatness and straightness tolerances on a unit basis. You apply a unit basis tolerance by following the tolerance value with a forward slash (/) and entering the per-unit area or per-unit length criteria.

Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary

Enter datum names and material condition symbols for the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary datums.

Frames

Create additional frames. You can set as many frames as needed. Use the Frames box to move among frames. You can see only two frames in the dialog box at a time.

Composite frame

Combines the symbols of two frames.
