Hole Fit and Shaft Fit |
You can choose standard Fit tolerances from the hole and shaft lists. The software automatically checks whether the standard is appropriate for the dimension. When you select either a hole or a shaft Fit tolerance, the list for the other type is filtered to present only corresponding tolerances. The bilateral tolerances are also calculated automatically. The Classification aid for selecting an appropriate Fit designation is either Hole Basis or Shaft Basis, depending on which Fit designation you choose first. As Hole Basis and Shaft Basis Fit classifications in the international standards are not fully bi-directional, you may get a different list of suggested Fit choices (or an empty list) depending upon the order in which you choose your designations. Hole Basis is preferred for most manufacturing processes.

Automatic Versus User Defined Tolerance: The advantage of letting the SOLIDWORKS software calculate the bilateral tolerance values for you is that if the dimension changes, the tolerances are updated automatically. To set tolerances manually, click the Hole Fit or Shaft Fit icon and type values in the Maximum Variation  and Minimum Variation  boxes. Select Show parenthesis to insert parenthesis around the tolerance values (Fit with tolerance only).
