Tolerancing
Tolerance is the acceptable amount of deviation from the perfect, or nominal,
values of a part. For example, a bi-directional tolerance states how much (+ or -
) the location of a feature may deviate from its nominal location. Use the
tolerancing function to calculate positions, orientations, and bonuses to keep
tolerancing simple and manageable. It is not even necessary to thoroughly un-
derstand tolerancing to succesfully use it with the QC5000.
Tolerance Toolbar
Use the tolerance toolbar to activate any of the 12 tolerance functions sup-
ported by the QC5000.
