    easy question

    Yes I should. But I don't have a copy of Y14.1M and am trying to get away without buying one. Or more accurately, trying to talk the higher ups into the fact that they need to buy one.

    easy question

    Thanks for the replies. The next question would be: To what "extent" is Y14.5 "specified herein"?

    easy question

    Does ASME Y14.1M reference ASME Y14.5 ?

    datum question

    Yes. They do sometimes take a while to unfold. But now we are getting to the meat of the discussion. RMB, MMB, and LMB do not enter the standard till 2009 so I'd say it definitely does matter which version the drawing is intended to comply with. As for the feature of size issue I can see it...

    datum question

    more questions for clarification please: Should a feature controlled by a profile tolerance and referenced in a fcf be considered RFS in that fcf unless otherwise modified with MMC or LMC? Can RFS, MMC, or LMC even apply if the cylinder is controlled by a profile tolerance...

    datum question

    Per the 1994 standard A cylinder is perpendicular to datum B. It is controlled by a profile requirement to B. Can that feature be used as a datum in other fcf's ?

    Flatness in the absence of a GD&T callout.

    The 1994 standard has basically the same fundamental rule that Dingy quoted from the 2009 standard. 1994 1.4(l) "All dimensions and tolerances apply in the freestate condition......." The exceptions to the freestate rule in the the 1994 standard leave a little more room for interpretation than...

    linear dimensions on geometricly toleranced print

    "Why would one use profile of a surface tolerance over a linear tolerance?" Because it more clearly defines the drawing. If there was a datum surface designated and a profile of a surface tolerance on the dimension in question if fig 2-5 this whole discussion/debate would not have happened.

    linear dimensions on geometricly toleranced print

    I agree with JP re: the dimension origin symbol. Jim, I get your point re: irregular features of size and a normal rule 1 check in a case such as you suggest. In this case it would be convenient if IFoS were included in 2.7.1. Then the dimension in question could be checked as Dave describes...

    linear dimensions on geometricly toleranced print

    2 cents I believe that the example in question meets the definition of a Irregular Feature of Size as defined by 1.3.32.2. But Rule #1 still would not apply because 2.7.1 refers solely to Regular Features of Size. Why Irregular Features of Size are not included in 2.7.1 I can't figure out...

    Implied Centerline

    Around here it would be done with a note. "orientation optional"

    VOSP callout

    VOSP......Very Old Shop Print?

    TP and FCF basics

    There is no z axis deviation. The calculation would be based on the devaition in x and the deviation in y, (at more than one height,z, if the hole is tipped).

    TP and FCF basics

    Per paragraph 1.4m "Unless otherwise specified all geometric tolerances apply for the full depth, length, and width of a feature." So you need to verifiy the position of the hole at the top, bottom, and everywhere in-between. If the hole is tipped in relation to the primary datum you will end up...

    Composite Positional Tolerancing?

    As Prof Don stated? ......no respect. Extension of Principles Did someone just pass out a bunch of those books?

    Perpendicularity

    Thanks.:-) And in regards to your comment: Of course. I should have said "....MANY parallelism callouts......"
  17. caseynick

    Perpendicularity

    IMO The example of perpendicularity in the 94 standard which shows the surface pepprpendicular to both surfaces is an example of one possible way to use the callout. The example of perpendicularity in the 09 standard, which pretty much matches the sketch that initiated this thread, is an example...

    Perpendicularity

    ASME Y14.5M 6.6.1 "Relation to more than one datum feature is specified to stabilize the tolerance zone in more than one direction." In the case of perpendicularity the secondary datum is solely to control a rotational degree of freedom. See fig.6-35. Datum B could just as easily be the short...

    Perpendicularity

    When calling a surface Perpendicular, do the datums called out in the reference frame have to be perpendicular to that surface? No. The surface in question has to be oriented according to the datum reference frame. In the example you are referring to that means the perpendicularity tolerance...
