Adding Fit to Dimension (2025 SP3)

You can add precise fit information to dimensions in drawings. This enhances the design process by automatically retrieving hole and shaft fit values. It retrieves values from a data table based on the selected nominal dimension.

By incorporating fit data directly into dimensions, you can ensure that mated parts achieve the required degree of tightness or looseness, adhere to industry standards, and improve assembly accuracy. Adding fit values to dimensions has the following benefits:

  • Reduces manual calculations and errors by automatically fetching hole and shaft fit values from a data table.
  • Lets you specify the precision of fit.
  • Ensures compliance with industry-standard fit classes and representations for accurate manufacturing compatibility.
  • Provides easy access to Fit options through the Power Dimensioning contextual ribbon tab and Properties Palette.
  • Lets you compare shaft and hole fits, select appropriate notations, and view values in the Fit dialog box.
