- Tolerance value: Sets the tolerance value in the second cell (and offers some predefined entries to have the diameter symbol at hand).
- Datum1: Sets the first datum marker in the third cell. Values in following cells will be ignored if empty.
- Datum2: Sets the second datum marker in the fourth cell. A value in following cell will be ignored if empty.
- Datum3: Sets the third datum marker in the fifth cell.
