    Impact of toleranced datum feature to other dimension controlled by datum feature

    Thanks Guys, its helped in confirming my thoughts that part needs to constrained on a dedicated tool and potentially look at the datum A tolerance values with customer.

    Impact of toleranced datum feature to other dimension controlled by datum feature

    @3DDave The part is only 1200mm width and 3100 long, so the 3mm surface profile significantly impacts the part when you get a twist. I will be recommending the part get constrained as inspection does not replicate machining and assembly requirements, but wanted to be sure before I made...

    Impact of toleranced datum feature to other dimension controlled by datum feature

    Hey, I have read through threads, videos and literature but cant seem to get a straight answer so seeking some help. It is correct to say that it is not wise to have a part that has Datum feature tolerance larger than the positional tolerance of a hole? Background: I have a drawing of a part...
