Reporting Bonus Tolerance

Hey all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically add the bonus tolerance of a position onto the tolerance on the report. It would help out inspectors if the total tolerance was displayed. I don't get why it calculates the total for a position but doesn't tell you what it is. Attached is an example of the current report.

Use variables and write it to a report comment underneath the dimension.

It already does along the right hand side. Otherwise you need to go back to legacy reporting and you could add the bonus to your positional tolerance, but you'll miss out on Datum shift.

Doesnt that only apply with an MMB on an actual DATUM ?

I read the original message to be that the print has .008 for positional tolerance, where there was .0084 in feature bonus they want to see the positional tolerance reflect a value of .0164. < This is achievable using legacy output. MMB (shift) can't be calculated and added to the final tolerance value.

This is what I would personally do...

1. Assign a variable to extract and find the sum of the bonus tolerance and position tolerance;
2. Create a generic point feature and replace the noms and meas values with the variable name from step 1;
3. Dimension the generic feature to display the total tolerance.

FCFLOC1 =GEOMETRIC_TOLERANCE/STANDARD=ASME Y14.5,SHOWEXPANDED=NO,
SIZE/NOMINAL=10,UPPER TOLERANCE=0.2,LOWER TOLERANCE=0.2,
SEGMENT_1,POSITION,DIAMETER,0.1,MMC,__,A,__,<dat>, <dat>,
ADD
FEATURES/10_CYL,,
ASSIGN/V2=FCFLOC1.SEGMENT[1].FEATURE[1].BTOL+FCFLOC1.SEGMENT[1].FEATURE[1].PTOL
F3 =GENERIC/POINT,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$
NOM/XYZ,<V2,V2,V2>,$
MEAS/XYZ,<V2,V2,V2>,$
NOM/IJK,<0,0,-1>,$
MEAS/IJK,<0,0,-1>
DIM FCFLOC_TOTAL_TOL= LOCATION OF POINT F3 UNITS=MM ,$
GRAPH=OFF TEXT=OFF MULT=10.00 OUTPUT=BOTH HALF ANGLE=NO
AX NOMINAL +TOL -TOL MEAS DEV OUTTOL
Z 0.175 0.050 0.050 0.175 0.000 0.000 ----#----
END OF DIMENSION FCFLOC_TOTAL_TOL
