problem with dimtol
problem with dimtol
hello support,
in the tolerances tab of the dimension properties dialog box, in autocad, there is a field "tolerance rendering". this field can have 5 values (none,symmetric,limits...)
according to autocad, this field is driven by dimtol.
but dimtol can only have 2 values since it is a boolean.
so could you give me please a solution to get/set the tolerance rendering of a dimension.
thank you in advance.

hello roche,
field "tolerance rendering" of dimension properties dialog box is ui value. this value is result of several dimension properties ( dimtm, dimtp, dimlim, dimtol and dimgap). try to change dimgap to negative value (in acad dimension property dialog) and field "tolerance rendering" is changed to "basic".
here is some description which may be useful.
"dimtm
sets the minimum (or lower) tolerance limit for dimension text when dimtol or dimlim is on. autocad accepts signed values for dimtm. if dimtol is on and dimtp and dimtm are set to the same value, autocad draws a tolerance value.
dimtp
sets the maximum (or upper) tolerance limit for dimension text when dimtol or dimlim is on. autocad accepts signed values for dimtp. if dimtol is on and dimtp and dimtm are set to the same value, autocad draws a tolerance value.
if dimtm and dimtp values differ, the upper tolerance is drawn above the lower and a plus sign is added to the dimtp value if it is positive.
dimtol
appends tolerances to dimension text.
off no tolerance is used or added
on tolerance is added and dimlim is turned off.
dimlim
generates dimension limits as the default text. setting dimlim to on turns dimtol off.
off dimension limits are not generated as default text
on dimension limits are generated as default text"
