Size dimension options are:

Diameter (boss, cylinder, counterbore hole, countersink hole, and simple hole)
Counterbore diameter (counterbore portion of counterbore hole)
Countersink diameter
Countersink angle
Length - slot/notch
Width - slot/notch/width
Depth (counterbore, counterbore hole, countersink, notch, pocket, simple hole, slot)
Fillet radius
Chamfer
Intersect circle

Tolerance Type Options

Symmetric Value is interpreted as plus and minus
Bilateral Values are added or subtracted from the feature's nominal size
Block Number of decimal places
General  
Block or General appears based on whether you select Block Tolerance or General Tolerance for the DimXpert Method. See Tools > Options > Document Properties > DimXpert.
