Geometric Tolerance (PCDMIS)

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the following dialog box in PCDMIS.

for datums referenced in MMB/LMB, a tolerance must have been previously defined in MMC/LMC with respect to their datums with a higher tolerance, the zero value in MMC/LMC is applied.

My question is how can it be done to define a tolerance beforehand?

  •    I know this is an older post but a new aggravation to me. Are you stating that the text in orange will always be there as a warning to make sure that you've done your diligence (and in my instance) and created a geometric tolerance (I used position back to primary) with size back to the primary. I've tried several different methods to get rid of the orange text.

  •   That is correct. There is absolutely no way to get rid of this orange text, since it is just a "Warning". Even if you are doing everything exactly right by the book. There was a recent post from another user, I'll try to find it and edit my comment. The user thought it was an error, and did not know what they were doing wrong.

    Edit -- Found the post. https://nexus.hexagon.com/community/public/pc-dmis/f/pc-dmis-for-cmms/149914/mmb/861995

    In the post, Neil stated that this message was added in 2023.2

  • As others have already mentioned, this is just a warning (or reminder), not an error.  It does not prevent you from creating the command and does not show on the report.  At present, the warning is always displayed in the dialog whenever a material modifier is applied to a datum.  There is no way to disable it.

  • ...and it should be that way. If you lack a tolerance with (M) on the datum, (M) is not allowed on the datum/s in the evaluation.
