Revision Notes
Reference Location
Set the drawing grid used to auto-populate each marker's location.
Example: Column 2 + Row C = C2. You can still manually edit any marker's reference location.
📐 How the grid is read
- Columns — read left → right across the drawing.
1-8means leftmost column = 1, rightmost = 8. - Rows — read top → bottom down the drawing.
A-Fmeans top row = A, bottom row = F. - If your drawing's grid is labelled in reverse, just flip the range:
8-1for columns running right → left,F-Afor rows running bottom → top. - Both numeric (
1-12) and alphabetic (A-J) ranges work for either axis — match what's printed on your drawing.

Tolerance Table
Set standard tolerances, then auto-fill balloon dimensions. Pick the mode that matches your drawing convention.
| From > | Up to ≤ | Upper Tol. | Lower Tol. | Action |
|---|
Example: 0 to 3 = ±0.1, above 3 to 6 = ±0.2. Lower tolerance entered as 0.1 is treated as minus.
| Decimal places | Upper Tol. | Lower Tol. | Action |
|---|
Example: whole numbers (0 dp) = ±1.5, 1 dp = ±0.8, 2 dp = ±0.25. Tolerance is picked from the number of decimal places typed in the nominal value.
