Geometric tolerance with a parameter

Hi all

I have a room designed using a room family (25 configurations) and now I'm moving on to drawing. For each configuration, the value of a geometric tolerance changes so I would like to know if it was possible to fly it also thanks to the family. I created the parameter, I put it in the family with the syntax:

$VALEUR@X@Equations but then I don't see how to call/use this variable in the geometric tolerance.
Maybe there's a direct syntax to drive this value from excel.

It's the 0.03 that I would like to set please.

Thank you for your help

Hello

If you create a collone tolerance and you put them manually, then you create a block with the symbols and this tolerance related to your part family, these will follow depending on your part.

 

Hello

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean. Where should the column you are talking about be created? And for the tolerance to follow, you have to use a block or does the geometric tolerance function work?

Hello

When you have created your part family, you have created it with an Excel file and in it you add a tolerance column and you put your tolerances in it. Then you create a block with a link in it that points to that column. Depending on the configuration, the tolerance will change.

Okay I see how it works for tolerances on distances, depths or radii but I don't see how to put in a geometric tolerance like the 0.03 of my image.

Because for a depth it's easy $TOLERANCE@D1@Extrusion but in my case I don't see...

Hello

In fact, what you need to do I think is not to use the geometric tolerance function.

You need to make a block with annotations that will look like a geometric tolerance, but by doing this, you can control the value of your tolerance via a parameter of your part family.

A+

That's exactly what I proposed, rroblin...
