1. Geometric Dimensioning and olerancing is a s!mbolic language used to specif!
the size " shape " form " orientation ,
and location of features on a part.
#. $eatures toleranced with GD% reflect the actual relationship
between mating parts.
&. Geometric Dimensioning and olerancing was designed to insure the proper assembl! of
mating parts " to impro'e quality " and reduce cost .
(. Geometric tolerancing allows the ma)imum a'ailable tolerance and" consequentl!"
the most economical parts.
*. ASME Y14.5!!" is the current" authoritati'e reference document that specifies the
proper application of GD%.
+. Plus or minus tolerancing generates a rectangular ,shaped tolerance -one.
7. #$%& generates a c!lindrical,shaped tolerance -one to control an a)is.
.. /f the distance across a square tolerance -one is 0 .11* or a total of .111" what is the
appro)imate distance across the diagonal2 ' .!!( or .!14
3. 4onus tolerance equals the difference between the actual mating en'elope si-e and the
ma)imum material con*ition .
11. 5hile processing" a rectangular part usuall! rests against a *atum
reference frame consisting of three mutuall! perpendicular planes.

1(. he profile of a surface control usuall! requires a datum feature(s) to properl!
orient an* locate the surface .
1*. Datum features are generall! not use* for profile of a line tolerances where
onl! the cross section is being controlled.
1+. /f the design requires a smaller radius than the radius allowed b! the profile tolerance" a
local note such as" NA55 16;AE;S ;.!15 MAK,O or N;.!15 MAKO
is directed to the radius with a lea*er .
17. he profile tolerance ma! be combined with other geometric tolerances
to refine certain aspects of a surface.
1.. Coplanarit! is the condition of of t3o or more
surfaces ha'ing all elements in one plane .
13. Coplanarit! is toleranced with the profile of a surface feature control frame" connected with
a lea*er " to a phantom line connecting the surfaces.
#1. he number of coplanar surfaces followed b! an K precedes the feature control
frame.
#1. 5here coplanar surfaces are used as a datum feature" it is best to attach the datum feature
s!mbol to the profile feature control frame .
##. Conicit! ma! be controlled with a profile of a surface tolerance .
#&. Composite profile tolerancing is 'er! similar to composite positional tolerancing
.
#(. he upper segment of a composite profile feature control frame is called the
profile locating control J it go'erns the
location relationship ,et3een the *atum features an* the profile .
#*. he lower segment" referred to as the profile refinement control "
is a smaller tolerance than the profile locating control and go'erns
the size, form, an* orientation relationship of the profile.

#+. he feature profile must fall inside ,oth profile tolerance zones .
#7. Datum features in the lower segment of a composite feature control frame must satisf! two
conditions?
$atum features in the lo3er segment must repeat the *atum features
in the upper segment of the feature control frame.
$atum features in the lo3er segment only control orientation.
#.. A second datum feature ma! be repeated in the lower segment of the composite feature
control frame. 4oth datum features onl! control orientation .
#3. he lower segment of a multiple single,segment profile feature control frame acts 8ust li7e
any other profile control .
&1. he upper segment of a multiple single,segment profile feature control frame allows the
smaller tolerance -one to translate
relati'e to the datum feature not repeated in the lower segment within the larger tolerance.
