Applies To

  • Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Wildfire 5.0
  • Creo Parametric 1.0 to 4.0

Description

  • Change in the way the lower tolerance values for plus-minus tolerances have to be entered in recent releases
    • In current versions It is necessary to insert the minus sign in the lower tolerance of a dimension, otherwise it will be positive.
    • This wasn't necessary in previous releases, because Creo assumed that the lower tolerance was negative and upper tolerance was positive
  • The plus-minus tolerance values sign can be the same.
  • Both plus and minus tolerances can have the same sign simultaneously.
  • Plus-Minus tolerances can be both positive (+) and both (-).
  • If no plus or minus sign entered into tolerance value, tolerance value is changed to positive
  • Tolerance value is always positive unless minus sign (-) is entered.
