Is there a single box dimension callout?

oddam
Hi everyone,
I have a question for you, an engineer said measurement software should give a single reading if the FCF does not have a Ø in front of the tolerance. When I see a FCF that has no diametrical symbol I report it as a + / - in the two axes. When I see the diametrical symbol, I report it as TP, giving a singular reading. My question is, is there a way to report a single reading for a box dimension callout? I have never heard of a single reading for a box dimension, but maybe there is. I prefer to use legacy dimensioning and I am using pcdmis 2022.1.

Thanks,
Odda

  • Jacob, if I am interpreting your answer correctly, the FCF with no symbol you would report each positional axis, example, X and Y giving a ± tolerance. As I mentioned, the engineer said measurement software should report for a planer tolerance zone as a single reading, just like a TP callout. Is there any format for this, I do not believe so.

    Your engineer is correct, you will have to use exactmeasure or whatever the new version is called.

    Open the true position dimension box

    Set the datum definitions if not already done, select the feature to be evaluated.
    In the feature control frame editor de-select the diameter symbol by clicking on it, this will open a drop down click in the blank area to de-select.
    This will make a new button appear named Planar Zone click on that and set the correct planar zone direction.
