Showing the DimXpert Tolerance Status of a Part

To show the DimXpert tolerance status of a part:

  1. Use DimXpert to add dimensions and tolerances to a part.
  2. Click Show Tolerance Status (DimXpert toolbar) or Tools > DimXpert > Show Tolerance Status.
    DimXpert displays feature faces in default colors representing one of the three states:
    • Under constrained = yellow
    • Fully constrained = green
    • Over constrained = red
      • Faces with no constraint color are not associated to a DimXpert feature, dimension, or tolerance.
      • Set the tolerance status color at Tools > Options > System Options > Colors > DimXpert (Under, Fully, or Over Constrained).

    In the DimXpertManager:

    • Features with no mark after the name are fully constrained.
    • Features with (+) following the name are over constrained.
    • Features with (-) following the name are under constrained.
  3. To exit tolerance status mode, click Show Tolerance Status or another SOLIDWORKS command.
