Pass fail to tolerances

Here is my problem. If I say I only want to report 3 digits and .005+/-.001 and the result is .0061 it will show me a fail. I want it to show me a pass. Same with .0039 want to show as a pass.

Anything in the software that I can turn on to correct the pass fail with that?

Any thoughts would helpful can think of some work arounds.

  • If he's got an SOP that states thout shall round for all drawings, and this SOP is accepted by their customer(s), then thout shall round per that SOP!
    --The only exception is when it comes to conducting a gage study (MSA). You should never apply rounding to a gage study.

    FYI, you can actually further obscure (or control) the dim tolerances by making the tolerances on each dim point to an assignment variable.

    Here's a truncated segment of a routine I made that parametrically shifted tolerances so any time we run the routine with a "qualification" toggle, it refers to the GAGERR dim values

    IF/GAGERR == 0
    $$ YES,
    DRAWING SPEC GRAY OUTER BODY
    ASSIGN/TOL_AA_P=0.005
    ASSIGN/TOL_AA_M=0.02

    END_IF/
    ELSE/
    $$ YES,
    GREEN SPEC GRAY OUTER BODY
    ASSIGN/TOL_AA_P=0.01
    ASSIGN/TOL_AA_M=0.02
    END_ELSE/
    END_ELSE/​

    DIM AA_GATE_1= 2D DISTANCE FROM PLANE APLANE_1 TO POINT AD_GATE_1 PAR TO YAXIS,NO_RADIUS UNITS=IN,$
    GRAPH=OFF TEXT=OFF MULT=10.00 OUTPUT=BOTH
    AX NOMINAL +TOL -TOL MEAS DEV OUTTOL
