after the decimal point. If you set up the Tolerances tab as shown in the top of
Figure 12.15, a dimension looks like the one shown in the bottom of Figure 12.15.

dimension with deviation tolerances (bottom)
A more complex family of tolerances is available through the Dimensions panel.
It's called geometric tolerancing and involves setting up a series of boxes that con-
tain symbols and numbers that describe tolerance parameters for form, position,
and other geometric features. Usually two to six boxes appear in a row, with the
possibility of multiple rows. These all constitute the feature control frame , which
eventually is inserted in the drawing and attached in some way to the relevant
dimension. Follow these steps:
1. Click the Tolerance button from the expanded Dimensions panel on
the Annotate tab to open the Geometric Tolerance dialog box (see
Figure 12.16).
