    Working on a program to assist creating dimensions styles based on company standards.

    Everything is working great except for one setting!

    Symmetrical, Deviation and Limits Tolerance settings. I can't figure out what variable controls the difference between Symmetrical and Deviation. I know DIMTOL and DIMLIM are the main settings, but they are identical for Symmetrical and Deviation so what other variable besides these two is the deciding factor here? I can't seem to find a difference. I've set the style to both and copied and pasted the entire group of dim variables to compare the difference and there aren't any.

    HELP!!!!

    NEVER MIND!!!

    Finally figured it out shortly after posting, which is usually the case.

    Both variables DIMTP and DIMTM must be set identical. I was only setting the DIMTP variable which left the DIMTM variable set to 0.00 which means you can't have a symmetrical tolerance if DIMTP and DIMTM are different. Makes sense I guess. Just wish it was explained in the help section a tad better.
