Create Geometric Tolerances
 
 
 

To create a geometric tolerance, use the AddTolerance method. This method requires three values as input: the text string comprising the tolerance symbol, the location in the drawing to place the tolerance, and a directional vector specifying the direction of the tolerance. You can also copy, move, erase, scale, and rotate tolerances.

Create a geometric tolerance

This example creates a simple geometric tolerance in model space.

Sub Ch5_CreateTolerance()
	Dim toleranceObj As AcadTolerance
	Dim textString As String
	Dim insertionPoint(0 To 2) As Double
	Dim direction(0 To 2) As Double


	' Define the tolerance object
	textString = "Here is the Feature Control Frame"
	insertionPoint(0) = 5
	insertionPoint(1) = 5
	insertionPoint(2) = 0
	direction(0) = 1
	direction(1) = 1
	direction(2) = 0
	' Create the tolerance object in model space
	Set toleranceObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace. _
		AddTolerance(textString, insertionPoint, direction)
	ZoomAll
End Sub
