Dimension Tolerances

Post by jdi000 » Sat Jul 22, 2017 1:59 pm

When opening a dxf or dwg not created in QCAD, the tolerances are missing from dimensions. Is this expected behavior of QCAD?
The Teigha Viewer displays these correctly.

QCAD supports dimension tolerances as part of the label formatting, but not as defined by this file as an individually assigned dimension style, that's correct.

Thanks, Any chance that QCAD will be able to support industry standard tolerance and dimension styles in the future?

Thanks
