features as well as feature-to-feature relationships.
FGD&T should only be used on critical part features.
FYou can learn GD&T in two days.
TRefinement means holding a feature to a tighter tolerance but with fewer
datums and/or constraints.
TFunctional gaging depends on the Maximum Material Condition and Virtual
Condition concepts.
FThe best approach to design is to adjust tolerances to fit manufacturing
capabilities.
TThis course is based on ASME Y14.5M-1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing.

GD&T should only be used on critical part features.

This is a common misconception. Three dimensional geometry requires the control


of shape, size, location, orientation, and form of features. Although not all part or
assembly features will have an associated feature control frame, their location,
orientation, form, and size need to be controlled by a combination of geometric
tolerancing (sometimes included in general notes), Rule #1, and other dimensional
tolerances.
You can learn GD&T in two days.

It would be great if that were true! However, determining datums, controlling 3D


geometry, as well as feature-to-feature relationships, is complex. You can learn a
number of things about GD&T in two days and start to learn much of the symbology
and basic rules. Typically, it takes two or three courses or seminars and a lot of
individual study to become proficient in applying GD&T and to understand the many
nuances of dimensioning and tolerancing.
The best approach to design is to adjust tolerances to fit manufacturing capabilities.

The best approach is Design Driven: Make tolerances as large as possible while
still maintaining part or assembly function. This leads to the lowest overall costs.

A drawing should generally define a part by specifying

Methods whenever applicable.
A drawing should generally define a part without specifying
manufacturing methods. The exception is for parts or assemblies that
require very specific processing, such as heat treating, coating, or a very
specific sequence, in order to achieve the design intent.
All dimensions and tolerances apply in a clamped condition (except
for
those identified as non-rigid parts).
Parts or assemblies are to be measured in the free state condition. As
a practical matter, parts sometimes need to be lightly clamped. However,
if there are a number of clamps or significant restraining forces involved
in clamping the part for measurement, there should be a local or
general restraint note that specifies the location, amount, number,
direction, and sequence of clamping.

Bonus tolerancing applies by default whenever position
tolerancing is
used.
This did, in fact, apply in some of the earlier Y14.5 standards prior to 1982.
However, in current standards (1994 and 2009), the MMC modifier must be
applied to the tolerance block to allow bonus tolerancing.

Actual mating envelope is the largest counterpart that just fits the
high points of a feature of size of a component.
Not quite! Actual mating envelope is the perfect feature counterpart that
just fits the high points of the feature of sizethe largest pin gage that just fits a
hole, the smallest ring gage that just fits around a shaft, the largest gage block
that just fits into a slot, or the smallest vice-shaped (horseshoe or U-shaped)
gage that just fits around a tab.

The least material condition size of a hole measuring 10.0 10.5


is
10.0.
A diameter of 10.0 is the MMC size, not the LMC size. The LMC size for an
internal feature is the largest size in the tolerance range.

Not quite correct. Datum shift applies when a datum feature of size is
modified at MMC or LMC. (MMC is used far more often than LMC.)

Rule #1 controls the interrelationship between features of size.


Rule #1 only applies to individual features of size.

The LMC size of a feature is checked by a full form gage.


LMC features are checked by 2-point gages; MMC features are checked
by full form GO gages.

The default feature for gears and splines, like screw threads, is
the
pitch diameter.
Gears and splines are different. You must specify the feature to be

A flatness control may be applied to a feature of size .
Technically, it cant apply to a feature of size. It can apply to one surface of
a feature of size. But if it applied to a feature of size, it would have to apply
to the centerplane, which is what the straightness control is used for in the
ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard.

When straightness is applied to a feature of size, the size


tolerance
may be overridden.
Not quite! It isnt the size tolerance that is overridden but Rule #1 that is
overridden. This allows the Virtual Condition size of a feature of size to be
smaller or larger than the size tolerance would allow if governed by Rule #1.

The diameter symbol must be used when applying a circularity


tolerance to a circular feature.
No modifiers may be used with circularity. In fact, the tolerance zone is not
circular or cylindrical, anyway, but is the annular space between two
concentric circles.

A datum target symbol exists on the part feature.
A datum target is a symbol used to describe the size,
shape, and location of gage elements. A datum target
does not exist on the part!
When we gage a part feature we must always constrain 6
degrees of freedom of the
part.
Not always. In one example in the chapter we
constrained 5 degrees of freedom. For simple controls,
such as coaxiality to a single axis, we would constrain 4
degrees of freedom. Any free degrees of freedom may
be used to locate or orient the part to meet the specified
tolerance.
Only 3 datum targets may be used for a primary datum.
Most typically, 3 datum targets are used for a primary
datum. However, sometimes more than 3 are required to
stabilize a non-rigid (flexible) part. If the part or feature
is flexible, a restraint note, either general or local, should
also be applied to the drawing.

Chapter 5 Planar Datums/Targets Discussion


Datum target areas should always match the shape of the
part datum feature.
Often they do. However, they are certainly not required
to. Sometimes the datum target area only covers part of
the feature area. A typical case is when a datum target
area is used to match the area and location of a mating
part such as a bracket face or a bolt flange.
On the other end of the spectrum, sometimes the datum
target area is made larger than the feature area as when
a datum target area is made 4 to 5 mm larger in diameter
than the OD of a subframes mounting rings. This
ensures that the part features (mounting rings in this
case) will contact the datum targets even if they are out
of their allowed location tolerance by a little bit.
A hole used as a secondary datum constrains 3 degrees of
freedom if the primary
datum is a planar surface.
As a primary datum the axis of a hole actually constrains

Chapter 6 Datum Features of Size Discussion


The MMC modifier can be assumed to apply to any features of
size.
This used to be the ruleback in the 1960s! It hasnt
applied for decades. The current requirement in the 1994
(and 2009) Y14.5 standard is that RFS is the default
modifier by Rule #2. If we want to use the MMC modifiers
for bonus tolerances and the ability to use functional
gages, we must make sure the MMC modifier is applied to
all controlled features and datum features of size.
The amount of datum shift is generally determined by the
size tolerance of a
datum
feature of size modified at RFS.
Datum shift is determined by the size tolerance of a
datum feature of size modified at MMC or LMC. (LMC
usage is rare; MMC usage is important!)
A datum simulator for an external datum feature of 10.2
10.4 would have a
size of 10.4 and be at least as long as the part feature.

Discussion
The tangent plane modifier may only be applied to
parallelism.
The tangent plane modifier applies to all of the
orientation controls: parallelism, angularity, and
perpendicularity. (It also can be applied to profile of a
surface.)
Size limits indirectly control orientation of planar
features
of size to no greater than the size tolerance.
Size limits (combined with Rule #1) indirectly control
parallelism of opposed surfaces of a feature of size.
However, size limits have no effect on
perpendicularity or angularity.

Discussion
Orientation is not limited by position tolerancing.
Remember that Position is a combination of
Translation and Orientation. We use Orientation
tolerancing to refine position tolerancing. A
typical example is using perpendicularity of a hole
to refine the position of a hole in a part. The
Orientation tolerance must always be smaller than
the position tolerance.

MMC is the default modifier for position


tolerancing. That is, if no modifier is specified,
the default for position tolerancing is MMC.
By Rule #2 RFS is the default tolerance for any
geometric control if no modifier is specified.

Discussion
A designer should consider the use of the LMC
modifier to control a maximum distance on a
part.
The opposite is true. The LMC modifier is typically
used to control minimum wall thickness or a minimum
distance on a part.
With only one datum specified a tolerance of
position can control the location, spacing, and
orientation of a pattern of holes in a
rectangular part.
With only one datum specified a tolerance of position
can control spacing between holes and orientation
(perpendicularity to the primary datum) of the pattern
of holes, but not locationnot enough datums!

Discussion
Symmetry can allow the MMC modifier to be
applied to the datum but not to the toleranced
feature.
Symmetry is applied strictly RFS. Neither the controlled
feature nor any datums can use the MMC (or LMC)
modifiers.

The difference between concentricity and total


runout is concentricity is easier to inspect.
Concentricity is actually more difficult to inspect than
total runout. The difference is in the shape of the
tolerance zone: two coaxial cylinders for total runout
and a single cylinder (containing the medial points) for
concentricity. Establishing the datum axis is done in
the same (3) ways for either control.

Total runout controls size, orientation, and coaxiality.
Total runout is a composite control that affects form
(cylindricity), orientation, and location (coaxiality), but it
doesnt control size.
Circular runout is less economical to use than total
runout.
Circular runout is actually more economical to inspect
than total runout. A circular runout control is one of the
easier geometric controls to inspect. Slices of the
feature are measured to determine the max and min
readings as the part is rotated. With total runout the
entire surface must be covered by the indicator in a
helical or spiraling pattern (part rotating and indicator
moving) which makes total runout a more involved and
more time consuming measurement.

If either a 0 or the entire tolerance value follows the
symbol in the tolerance portion of the profile control, the
profile tolerance is to be applied bilaterally.

Close, except for one word. The profile tolerance is to be


applied unilaterally in the case of either 0 tolerance or
total tolerance after the circle U symbol.
The MMC or LMC modifiers may be applied to either the
profile tolerance or to datum features of size when
applying either profile of a surface or profile of a line.
Almost. The MMC or LMC modifiers may be applied to
any datum features of size but not to the profile
tolerance itself. The profile tolerance is always RFS even
though there may be some datum shift available from
MMC modifiers applied to datum features of size.
