Tolerance in Sketch mode

Hi everybody'
How can I create and display tolerance in SKETCH MODE like which i can do in "Inventor". Note not in part model but in SKETCH. Thanks.
 
Please state your need correctly so that we understand
the difference between your "WANT" and "NEED". Sketch
dimensions in proe are constraints and represents the
nominal dimension. Tolerances are hence not specified.
If you are looking to specify tolerances to a part....
like in ISO system of limits and fits, first you must
change the tolerance system to Edit>setup>tolerance
setup > iso/din.
Proe comes with ANSI as default.
 
Thank u for response
I just donot want to set my tolerances in drg mode. I want that if i donot create a drg even then my tolance should be there always whether they are given arbitrarily or using tol_tables. And that whenever i create drg and use auto dimensioning the already given dimensions shoud be displayed in drg. (I have exercised this in Autodesk Inventor.) Another point is that though i am not shure but i think by using tols in model we can get min and max clearance or interference between male and female parts in ProE. I think u may have got my pt. Thanks.
Note if u EDIT an extrusion or revolution u will find tolerances displayed there with dims.

Hi SRINIVASANIYER1,

This is beside the point of the post. I notice that you're in India. We're looking for Indian Pro/E group for oil/gas design work. Do you know the labor fee in India, if you know the range please let me know? I hear that it's about 1/8 of US labor.. but is it increasing..

I'd guess it's $US 5/hr please correct me.

Thanks.
 
Answering Triple-ess...
Your need can be satisfied. Do not give it in sketch
mode. Create the model with nominal dimensions. Double
click on the model, select dimension, right click-->
properties... and
then you can specify the tolerance. The tolerance
specified will remain with the model.
You might also want to explore Edit --> setup --> Dim
bound for further control.

Answering Trillicomm,
I am sorry I would not know the happenings in the
service industry. The rate varies in accordance with the
competencies. I am from manufacturing industry and have
been away from India for almost 4 years now.
As I recollect 5$/hr was almost 4 years ago for starting
companies. It could be more now.

You cannot definetolerances in sketch mode but you can define them in model or drawing mode (as SRINIVASANIYER1 said).
 
Thank You Srinivasaniyer1 and skraba for iformation. I almost knew what u told me. I was just trying to know if i could define my tols in one go. thanks.
