How to change the Limits and Fits tolerance type during the creation of the 
dimension.


Currently, the Limits and Fits tolerance type option is available under 
'Menu-->Preferences-->Drafting'. Expand 'Dimension' and highlight 'Tolerance'. 
Under the 'Limits and Fits' group, the 'Type' can be modified. But how can the 
Limits and Fits 'Type' option be modified during the creation of a dimension?



Solution

 1. Select the 'Rapid Dimension' icon. 
2. Select a hole to dimension. 
3. When the 'Edit' (image of wrench) option appears, select it. 
4. Select the dimension text to edit. 
5. Set the Tolerance Type to 'Limits and Fits'. 
6. In the lower right-hand corner of the Edit pop-up, select the 
 'Text Settings' button. 
7. Highlight 'Tolerance'. 
8. Under the 'Limits and Fits' group, set the desired 'Type' option. 
 The 'Type' options available are 'Hole', 'Shaft', or 'Fit'. 
9. Set any other desired options. 
10. Close the Settings dialog. 
11. When editing the dimension is complete, select the 'Edit' 
 (image of wrench) icon again to finish. 
12. Set the remaining options in the Rapid Dimension dialog and place the 
dimension.


This will allow the 'Limits and Fits' type to be set during the creation of 
the dimension.
