You can add or remove dimension inspection for existing dimensions. For transmitting the frequency of inspecting the part being dimensioned, the dimension value and parts tolerance are ensured to be within specified range.
Dimension inspection can be added to any type of dimension objects, which is composed by a frame and internal text. You can specify the shape of inspection frame as round, angular or none. An inspection dimension contains utmost three kinds of information field: inspection tag, dimension value and inspection rate. Using a perpendicular line to divide the dimension information among each field.

In which, inspection tag, used for mark the text of dimension inspection is located at the left side within the inspection frame.
Dimension value here is the value before adding dimension inspection, which is located at the central part of the inspection dimension including tolerance, text and measurement value.
Inspection rate which is expressed by percentage is located at the right side within the inspection frame, indicates required frequency of the part being created.
After adding dimension inspection, user can modify current value of inspection dimension through Geometry option of Properties palette, including frame shape, tag and inspection rate.
