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.

The software uses the annotations from the source component to create the annotations on the target component. It uses the fixed and floating fastener formulas outlined in ASME Y14.5 to compute the tolerances.

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

1. Click Tools > MBD Dimension > Auto Pair Tolerance.
   
   
2. In Source, select the source component (red arrow).
3. In Target, select the target component (black arrow).
   
   
4. Click .
