DimXpert Size Dimension

Default Tolerance values Set the tolerance values in Tools > Options > Document Properties > DimXpert > Size Dimension.
Pattern features DimXpert recognizes many patterns and defines instance counts automatically. The format is defined in the DimXpert callout format file. If DimXpert does not automatically recognize pattern features, you can define them using the DimXpert Pattern Feature tool.
Callout format file Some dimensions are displayed using a callout format. A template file ( txcalloutformat.txt ) that defines this format is found under Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations > DimXpert Callout Format File . The template lets you define individual formats for each dimensioning standard.
Grouping When the selected feature is defined as a datum or is controlled by a geometric tolerance, the size dimension, datum feature symbol, and geometric tolerance are automatically combined into an annotation group.

Depth Dimensions Depth dimensions are applied to blind features only. Other criteria, such as the geometry bounding the top of the feature and the geometry of the blind end condition, can affect whether a depth dimension is created.
Threaded holes When a hole is threaded, the thread designation is used instead of the hole diameter and tolerance. This is true for hole types defined with the Hole Wizard or linked to a cosmetic thread.
