      Set Drawing Interval and Displayed Dimensions (Drawing Tolerance)

      The Drawing Tolerance sets the number of decimals for drawing dimensions and the interval the length increases when drawing (see example images below). A common tolerance for standard dimensions is 0.25 and for metric dimensions is 1.

      Figure 1. The Drawing Tolerance for this price list is .25 

      This chart shows the drawing tolerance setting and how that impacts the drawing interval and the drawing dimensions. See examples below.
