We draw individual parts for manufacturing with tolerances. We have just finished setting up our .drwdot
From the corresponding 3Ds, we also need to make an assembly drawing for the end customer, who does not have to know the tolerances of the parts, unlike the manufacturing drawings.
Is it possible, for example, to create an independent .drwdot on which we can specify not to display the dimension tolerance at all, even if it exists on the corresponding 3D? We don't want to create a configuration one with tolerance and one without. Do you have another idea?
The Dimension Tolerance dialog box can be accessed by clicking Tolerance in Tools, Options, Document Properties, Dimension Options . It controls dimension tolerance values and the display of dimensions that are not integers. The options available depend on the tolerance type selected and change depending on whether you set the document options or apply the specifications to the selected dimensions. A window displays an overview of the dimension and tolerances.
Related text value
In TolAnalyst, when a dimension is related text with more than one value, you can select one and edit it.
Type of tolerance
Select one of the following tolerances: None, Absolute, Bilateral, Limit, Symmetric, MIN, MAX, Fit, Fit with Tolerance , or Fit (Tolerance Only). You can set the Tolerance Type to None, and then use the default settings for the maximum and minimum values, as well as for the font in the current document. When you change the properties of a dimension, the default tolerance settings will be those set in these options.
Tolerance values
Specify the Maximum Variation and/or Minimum Variation values appropriate to the tolerance type you selected.
To answer you: "have you recreated a .drwdot client with auto rating without tolerance"
That's precisely what I would like to do, but I can't do it...
FYI I don't use layers at all currently.
I make 3D parts dimensioned with tolerance. I draw each part for manufacturing (so with the ribs tolerated). For this drawing I start with a .drwdot that I set as I wish, example .123 at the nominal and .12 at the tolerance...
So I assumed that to make a drawing of my assembly, on which I can get my nominal manufacturing dimensions only, I would have to create another drwdot or I only ask for the nominal, but I can't do it...

Otherwise it might be possible to put all the tolerances in a layer, and when sending the plans to a client, it would just be necessary to hide the "tolerance" layer???
In Creo, we worked on our drawings with dimensions from the 3D model, allowing us to make changes to our 3Ds directly via the double click on the dimension in the drawing.
This method suited us quite well. That's why I had the idea of recovering as many of the 3d manufacturing dimensions as possible on the drawing.
For a manufacturing part, no problem since we need these tolerances.
On the other hand, once the model is assembled, the drawing of the assembly is dedicated to a customer who does not have to know our tolerances. Some coasts will have to be created, yes I agree... But I would have liked not to have to create all of them on the assembly drawing , and to have been able to recover dimensions by applying a filter that would only show the primary; Too bad lol
The solution may then be to select all the dimensions and remove the tolerances before creating your PDF. You should not re-register your SLDDRW and SLDASM after this exercise otherwise you lose the tolerances on your 3Ds. If this is too tedious or time-consuming to do each time, you can then create a macro that automates all this for the creation of your PDFs for the customer.
