Automatic Generation of DimXpert Annotations for Fastener Assemblies

You can use DimXpert to automatically annotate one of the two components of a fixed or floating fastener assembly.

Starting with the source component, its annotations are used to create the annotations on the target component using the fixed and floating fastener formulas, as outlined in ASME Y14.5, to compute the necessary tolerances.

To use DimXpert to automatically annotate one of the two components of a fixed or floating fastener assembly:

  1. Click Tools > DimXpert > Auto Pair Tolerance.

  2. In Source, select the source component (red arrow).
  3. In Target, select the target component (black arrow).

  4. Click .
