[Tolerance] Page on [Default Shape Settings] Dialog Box

On [Tolerance] page on [Default Shape Settings] dialog box, you can modify the following settings.
The modified settings will be displayed on the preview screen located at the bottom left of the dialog box.

[View Type]
Set the display type of tolerances.

[None]: Does not display a tolerance.
[1 Step Tolerance]: Displays a tolerance with a value input in [1 Step Tolerance] box followed by "?".
[2 Step Tolerance]: Displays a tolerance with the values input in [Step 1 Tolerance] box and [Step 2 Tolerance] box in 2 lines with "+" (positive value) or "-" (negative value).
[Allowable Limit]: Displays the value calculated by adding a tolerance to a dimension value in 2 lines. The value calculated by adding the value input in [1 Step Tolerance] box to the dimension value will be displayed on the top line, while the value calculated by adding the value input in [2 Step Tolerance] box to the dimension value will be displayed on the bottom line.
When inputting a dimension value manually, a tolerance will not be displayed.
[Minimum Allowable Limit (min.)]: "min." will be added to the end of the dimension value.
[Maximum Allowable Limit (max.)]: "max." will be added to the end of the dimension value.
[Theoretical Accuracy]: Encloses the dimension value with a rectangle.

Turning on [View Dimension Value]
displays a dimension value. This option is valid only when [View Type] is set to [Allowable Limit].

Length

[Accuracy]
Set the number of decimal places used for displaying tolerances for lengths. Dimension values displayed will be rounded off to the specified decimal place.
When set to [0.00], for example, angular dimension values will be displayed to the second decimal place by rounding the third decimal place.

[1 Step Tolerance]
Input a value used as a tolerance for the first line.

[2 Step Tolerance]
Input a value used as a tolerance for the second line.

[Display 0 Feet]
Turn it on to display zero feet for tolerances.
For example, turning it off displays 0'-10.5" as 10.5".

[Display 0 Inches]
Turn it on to display zero inches for tolerances.
For example, turning it off displays 2'-0.0" as 2'.

Angle

[Accuracy]
Set the number of decimal places used for displaying tolerances for angles. Dimension values displayed will be rounded off to the specified decimal place.
When set to [0.00], for example, angular dimension values will be displayed to the second decimal place by rounding the third decimal place.

[1 Step Tolerance]
Input a value used as a tolerance for the first line.

[2 Step Tolerance]
Input a value used as a tolerance for the second line.

[Display Degree or Degree and Minute of Zero]
Turn it on to display zero degrees, or degrees and minutes, when values are displayed in degrees, minutes and seconds.
For example, turning it off displays 0°55'30" as 55'30".

[Display Minute and Second or Second of Zero]
Turn it on to display zero minutes and seconds, or seconds, when values are displayed in degrees, minutes and seconds.
For example, turning it off displays 45°0'0" as 45°.

[Font Size Ratio]
Input the size of a tolerance as a percentage from 25 to 100 against the dimension value text.

[Display 0 above a decimal point]
Turn it on to display a zero above a decimal point of tolerances.

[Display 0 below a decimal point]
Turn it on to display a zero below a decimal point of tolerances.

[Add a - mark when step 2 is zero.]
Turn it on to display "-" in front of 0 when Step 2 for a tolerance is 0.

[Vertical Align]
Set a vertical locate position of the tolerance against the entire string of the dimension value.

[Horizontal Align]
Set a horizontal locate position for the tolerance when it is in 2 steps.

[Parenthesize]
Turn it on to enclose a tolerance string with "()" (parentheses).
