Sounds to me like you want something for nothing.  The only way you can
"protect the design intent" _is_ to specifically tolerance every
dimension.  Can you say _why_ you want "to use as few dimensions as
possible"?  You can't "show the molder he has not kept tolerances" if
you don't _give_ the molder the tolerances.  If I was a molder, I would
agree upon tolerances on a signed drawing, and nothing else.
