Annotations: Geometric Tolerances
The methods in this section allow a Creo Object TOOLKIT C++ application to read, modify, and create geometric tolerances (gtols) in a solid or drawing. We recommend that you study the Creo Parametric documentation on geometric tolerances, and develop experience with manipulating geometric tolerances using the Creo Parametric commands before attempting to use these methods.
