The Tolerance block is located in the Title block. The Tolerance block provides
information to the manufacturer on the minimum and maximum variation for each
dimension on the drawing. If a specific tolerance or note is provided on the drawing, the
specific tolerance or note will override the information in the Tolerance block.
General tolerance values are based on the design requirements and the manufacturing
process.
Create Sheet Formats for different parts types. Example: sheet metal parts, plastic
parts and high precision machined parts. Create Sheet Formats for each category of parts
that are manufactured with unique sets of Title block notes.
Modify the Tolerance block in the Sheet Format for ASME Y14.5-2009 machined,
millimeter parts. Delete unnecessary text. The FRACTIONAL text refers to inches. The
