Join Shaun Bryant for an in-depth discussion in this video Geometric tolerances, part of AutoCAD: Annotation Scaling in Drawings.
- [Teacher] So once again we're staying…in the 02 annotative objects drawing,…and as usual, I've saved it as we've…gone along as per each video,…and as promised, I'll make sure…that you have a completed version…of this drawing as well.…So that you can investigate…all of the annotation, the scaling…and the annotative qualities of…all the objects we've discussed in the chapter.…Now, one of the other annotative objects…that you can use in AutoCAD 2017…is what they call Geometric tolerances.…
Now these tolerances are not part…of your dimension style.…It's not the tolerances that you have…in your dimension styles that you…set up in AutoCAD.…These are geometric tolerances,…and they use a dialogue box where…you set up what they call frame controls.…And it allows you to add little symbols…and obviously numbers to explain the…tolerances and the values of those tolerances.…And you simply use the tolerance command.…Now normally you put those on a text…or dimensions layer.…
So go to the Home tab on the ribbon first,…and just go into your layer pull down,…
