Hole Callouts, How do I modify Tolerance?

[jfleming]

See below. Aside from modifying the callout itself, is there a way to change the tolerance to 2 places on this?

It seems that anytime I modify an item in RED, it seems to have a mind of its own when I reopen the drawing months later.

@idslk that would be a global change to my entire drawing though, which I do not want. I have not found a way to target the hole callout specifically for "precision" modifcation.

Have you tried:
Right click the dimension,
Select properties,
Click override properties,
Set decimal places.
Only tried on ordinary dimension.
Not got time to try on hole detail.

Thanks Jim. Familiar with that process, however that is not an option on the Hole Callouts.

I just tried with Atom but can't even find "Hole Callouts."
Does Atom have them or are they only part of the more expensive versions?
Sorry I can't help.

Jim, Atom 3D does not have the Hole Tool, hence no Hole Callouts.

Unfortunately, this is currently the only place in Drawing Properties that controls the precision (number of decimal places displayed). I will submit an enhancement request to add a precision option to the Hole/External Thread Callout section under Annotations in Drawing Properties.

This sounds like a familiar issue and I think I submitted a support ticket about it some time ago. But it may have been about the lack of a separate control for the leader line.
But without anyway to view submitted tickets I cannot verify that.

I will submit an enhancement request to add a precision option to the Hole/External Thread Callout section under Annotations in Drawing Properties.

Having an Annotation Styles option would be also be nice. Or include it with the Dim Styles.

Only a couple more weeks and I'll have the full version.

With Inventor you can select 1 or multiple dimensions then right click and there's an option for precision with a further option for up to 8 decimal places.
Would that be "doable" here? ? ?

Couple of weeks until my Birthday.
Going away for a few days.
Sort it when I get back.
Can't wait! ! ( like a little kid again)

This can be done with Dimensions (right-click on a dimension then go to Properties, like mentioned above in this thread). However, Hole Callouts do not have the same Properties and cannot be edited that way.
