Description[edit | edit source]

The Templater ToleranceFrame tool creates a tolerance frame or a datum frame as an SVG file and adds it to the selected view.

Tolerance frames and datum frame with editable entries

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select a view or any geometry inside the view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool.
    • Press the Tolerance Frame button.
    • Select the Templater → Tolerance Frame option from the menu.
  3. The Feature frame settings task panel opens.
  4. Select a Tolerance Type for a tolerance frame, or type a single (upper case) letter for a datum frame.
  5. If a tolerance type was selected adjust the following values:
    (they will be ignored for a datum frame)
    • Optionally edit the Tolerance value.
    • Optionally edit each datum field, leave empty if not needed and succeeding fields will be ignored.
  6. Click Ok to close the task panel and finish the tool.
  7. A NewSymbol.svg file will be saved in the .../Mod/Templater/Resources folder and added to the selected view as a new FeatureFrame object.
  8. Drag the FeatureFrame object to its final position.
  9. Optionally adjust its values by editing the DataEditable Texts property in the Property View

Task Panel[edit | edit source]

  • Tolerance type: Sets the tolerance symbol in the first cell of a tolerance frame, or the single letter in the only cell of a datum frame.
  • Tolerance value: Sets the tolerance value in the second cell (and offers some predefined entries to have the diameter symbol at hand).
  • Datum1: Sets the first datum marker in the third cell. Values in following cells will be ignored if empty.
  • Datum2: Sets the second datum marker in the fourth cell. A value in following cell will be ignored if empty.
  • Datum3: Sets the third datum marker in the fifth cell.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The widths of the cells are calculated on creation and cannot be altered afterwards.
  • All texts in the cells are editable, in contrast the tolerance synbols are hard coded svg elements and cannot neither be edited nor swapped.

Properties[edit | edit source]

A FeatureFrame is derived from a TechDraw Symbol, formally a TechDraw::DrawViewSymbol object and inherits all its properties.
