    Multple single segment position

    That is correct. While Y14.5 covers composite profile tolerancing for a single feature, it doesn't do the same for position. So the alternative is to position within the larger tolerance to B primary and A secondary, and refine the orientation by a perpendicularity second FCF relative to B...

    Multple single segment position

    Regarding the slot, if the concern is accurate orientation relative to datum B and a loose location control relative to A, it could be a better idea to apply a composite position tolerance relative to B primary and A secondary and refine it to B in the second segment. But if that is to be...

    It's a Catia thing.

    Cylindrical feature, datum symbol placement, in line vs not in line with dimension arrow

    We need to be fair. In defense of the Y14.5 subcommittee, it can be said that the standard explicitly states that the written text is what determines the requirements, and the absence of an illustrative figure does not invalidate any specific use. And you know you're welcome to submit...

    Cylindrical feature, datum symbol placement, in line vs not in line with dimension arrow

    The reason for the difference from a width in that sense - a width feature of size is two opposed parallel planar surfaces, and each of those surfaces could be potentially treated as a separate feature. So for a width, when the triangle of the datum feature symbol is offset from the dimension...

    Cylindrical feature, datum symbol placement, in line vs not in line with dimension arrow

    What else is the right side, if not " placed on the outline of a cylindrical feature surface or an extension line of the feature outline " ?

    Cylindrical feature, datum symbol placement, in line vs not in line with dimension arrow

    Here are the relevant definitions from ASME Y14.5-2018: " (d) placed on the dimension line or an extension of the dimension line of a feature of size when the datum is an axis or center plane. If there is insufficient space for the two arrows, one arrow may be replaced by the datum feature...

    RMB for width as tertiary

    greenimi, You are right. My question, " What is the purpose of continuing to inspect a non-conforming part? " could be a bit misleading due to the implied message. Considering a policy in which all parts found to be non-conforming are scrapped, there is no point in continuing the inspection if...

    RMB for width as tertiary

    What is the purpose of continuing inspecting a non-conforming part? However, a non-conforming datum feature should be detected when inspecting it for its tolerances and not when simulating the datum associated with it, unless the datum feature simulator is also the functional Virtual Condition...

    RMB for width as tertiary

    What I was saying is that if you inspect the datum features first, you reject the part before the RMB datum simulator is applied, so there is little use for a rule that helps you notice some problem with the datum feature in the next step set-up.

    RMB for width as tertiary

    pmarc, I would expect the datum features to be inspected first. Then the Regardless Material Boundary adjustable datum feature simulator to be operated to set the reference for inspecting the features that depend on the datum features. I realize under some circumstances the order of inspection...

    RMB for width as tertiary

    Oops! Yep it's right at the beginning. But why is it important and what difference does it make if you start contracting the jaws from a separation larger than the MMB, or smaller than the MMB but still larger than the feature's Related Actual Mating Envelope?

    RMB for width as tertiary

    I don't think so. Nothing in (e) either, or prior to that, indicates a simulator for a RMB width datum must initiate contraction or expansion from its OB/IB/MMB.

    RMB for width as tertiary

    You mean the jaws should grab datum feature C, not B. That width (datum feature C) has an MMC of 1.005 and a position tolerance of .015 RFS relative to datums A and then B, which governs the location relative to the central hole. So the Outer Boundary for it in the A,B datum reference frame is...

    RMB for width as tertiary

    I think I'm not sure I get it. Is it because datum feature simulator B doesn't constrain rotation? Edit: I don't think datum feature simulator C is allowed to rotate about datum axis B while contracting, if that has something to do with it.

    RMB for width as tertiary

    pmarc, I assume the reason for this is the small gap visible between the upper jaw of the datum feature simulator and the left side of the actual part being inspected. Am I correct?

    MMB calculation

    It's just the controls applied to that specific datum feature (how this datum feature is "qualified" relative to the higher precedence datums) that matter.

    Datum Modifier Effects - Planar Surface

    Boring bars and milling cutters have cylindrical shanks with flats. How they held in the machine is exactly the interface reflected by that RMB example I was referring to.

    MMB calculation

    [A,B(M)] and [A,B(M),C] yield the same MMB. That MMB is based on the limits of size of datum feature B and its control relative to datum A, which precedes it for both A,B(M) and A,B(M),C. Had it been A,C,B(M) the MMB would be based on the limits of size of datum feature B and its control...

    MMB calculation

    The MMB of a datum featute is simply it's worst case for assembly boundary accounting for the controls that apply to that datum feature relative to the preceding datum features listed in the feature control frame that references it. Most commonly it's the VC of the datum feature. For example, if...
