Symbols in tolerance annotations

A symbol collection is available in the lower part of the dialog boxes for Geometrical tolerances and Surface finish tolerances.

• You may fill a field with one or more symbols. To do so, select the field and then click on the required symbol(s). A code, for example [s3], will be displayed in the dialog box.
• Alternatively, you may also type the corresponding code (see table below).
• Holding the mouse cursor over a symbol displays an information box about the symbol.

The following symbols are available:

Symbol	Code	Description
	[s1]	Flatness
	[s2]	Perpendicularity
	[s3]	Concentricity
	[s4]	Straightness
	[s5]	Circularity
	[s6]	Profile diversion in longitudinal section
	[s7]	Angularity
	[s8]	Symmetry
	[s9]	Axis intersection
	[s10]	Profile of a line
	[s11]	Position
	[s12]	Profile of a surface
	[s13]	Cylindricity
	[s14]	Total run-out
	[s15]	Run-out

	[s35]	Diameter
	[s36]	Double arrow
	[s23]	Maximum material condition (MMC)
	[s24]	Least material condition (LMC)
	[s25]	Regardless of feature size (RFS)
	[s26]	Projected tolerance zone
	[s27]	Tangent plane
	[s28]	Free state
	[s29]	E in circle
	[s17]	A in box
	[s18]	D in box
	[s19]	F in box
	[s20]	C in box
	[s21]	E in box
	[s22]	B in box

Notes:

• The symbol collection can be extended. The corresponding files, e.g. SYMBOLSET_1_GEOMETRICALTOLERANCE.TXT, are stored in the Designer installation directory in the ...\Library\Common\Cad\Annotations\Symbols sub-folder.
• You may obtain further information about Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing including the use of symbols and their meaning from the corresponding Wikipedia page.
