Problem Topic
TOL/DISTB: Min/max value
Problem Description
A method of specifying a minimum and maximum in one statement is needed on several tolerances (TOL/DISTB, TOL/DIAM, TOL/RAD). There is no way to specify a distance between tolerance of both the maximum and minimum under the same label. Diameter and radius tolerances have no way of specifying maximum and minimum limits.

Suggested Resolution
Add a new minor word, MINMAX, to the appropriate tolerance types. A corresponding change in output formats would be needed to allow for two values.

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
Modified definitions and added note to TOL/DISTB.

This SIR was designated as "Unnecessary" by committee. The capability is accomplished with two TOL and Output statements.

It is sometimes desirable to assign a single label to both the minimum and maximum. Using two TOLs would not accomplish the same result. Also, when was this SIR designated as "Unnecessary"?
