geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances and relationships. It uses a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that ex ...
(GD&T) location control used on
engineering drawings
An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number o ...
to specify desired location, as well as allowed deviation to the position of a feature on a part.
Position tolerance must only be applied to
features of size, which requires that the feature have at least two opposable points.
