SW 2014, Automatically retrieve sketch tolerances from DIMxpert

2D plans Layout
1

Hello Gentlemen,

When creating our 3D parts on solidworks 2014, in our sketches, we apply tolerances to the dimensions in order to be able to use the "Tolerance" software from MyCADtool.

The aim is to produce models quickly at nominal dimensions for our subcontractors and production departments.

 

In order to improve our designs and document distribution, we would like to use the "Tolanalyst" and "Solidworks MBD" modules.

To use these modules, we have to go through the DIMxpert module, which is where I encounter a difficulty:

I can't get the dimensions tolerated in Dimxpert, this module sets up the tolerances of the document property.

 

Is it possible to retrieve the tolerances already applied to the sketch on Dimxpert, in order to avoid a duplicate dimensioning?

 

Thank you for your feedback,

Kind regards

Christopher.

Hello

With the 2012 version you have to redo the dimensioning, it's very bad and it's surprising because the Tolerance software manages to recover the tolerances of the sketch dimensions.

I haven't tested with the 2015 version yet

Hello

A priori it is possible:
