Geometric tolerances and annotations

3D Design
1

Hello

I have two questions:
How do I insert geometric tolerances into the 3D, the centering symbol and find them in the drawing? (with solidworks)
Is this possible with all the annotations?
Thank you.

Hello and welcome xavier_gasdeblay_1,
Indeed it is possible, I am discovering it now.
I did this test with SW2022SP4, I think it's feasible in other versions.

I simply added dimensioning directly in the 3D, I make my MEP by automatically enclosing the dimensioning that comes from the 3D, on the other hand I search with the annotations... To be continued

In response to @Silver_Surfer , here are some pictures that explain a little how this is possible: =>

@A_R ... You didn't say how you managed to insert the geometric tolerance...

Hello;
For 3D annotations:

And to retrieve them in the drawings:

So, basically, everything will depend on the choice of the annotation view in the 3D...

… and the choices made in the import of the objects of the model:

As a colleague pointed out to me, no I don't ramble, no I don't ramble, no I don't ramble, ... What? Oh, yes... at least not yet.
The new location of Solidworks' online help does not make it easier to read them from their links... they all look the same now...
