Profile tolerance for outer rectangle surface

Hi

I need to control the outer surface of the rectangle wrt bore as shown in image.

Requirement: Outer surfaces to be equally located from bore center.

Does the drawing representation right?

Thank you

You have to "clock" your Profile requirement, otherwise it can spin around the [A] axis, so relation between part outline and, for example, small holes is unclear.

Position the small holes to A as well for a simultaneous requirement control.
 
Hi, Sa-Ro:

This part looks like a solenoid body. Your datum A may be incomplete. You may have an A1 - A2 situation.

Best regards,

Alex
 
Or perhaps a candidate for 2X or even a continuous feature. A1 and A2 are meant for datum targets, where only a portion of a surface(s) is used to create a datum.

@Burunduk
Thank you

@CheckerHater
Small hole will be positioned wrt to datum A.

@ 3DDave
Small hole will be positioned wrt to datum A.

@ jassco
Yes. It is a solenoid body. Can you explain the A1 and A2 concept.

@ Belanger
Do you mean to provide datum B for opposite (to dia 28) bore and use datum A and B for profile tolerance?

Continuation question:
Next processing dept demanding for a dimension from datum A to outer surface of the rectangle. Since the outer surface is referred from datum A, there must be a dimension from that datum.

How to solve this doubt?

Thanks for all...
 
Shared centers have an implied zero dimension between them. That's why coaxial holes don't need a "0.00000" dimension between their centers.

This is not exactly GD&T related, but like GD&T it has to do with effective communication; If I may suggest a more concise approach to express it:

"@CheckerHater & @3DDave, Small hole will be positioned wrt to datum A."

BTW, excuse my ignorance, but what's the deal with the trend of using the '@' symbol before name/username of whom you speak to? As far as I know, '@' means 'at', which doesn't make sense to me in that context.

Can you provide any reference standards for this?

Thank you for the suggestion.

In whats app messaging application software, if we mentioned @ symbol the list of contacts will be displayed and the concerned person will be notified separately. Here I would like to mention that the reply is to the specific person.

Cool! I didn't know that [blush].
Thanks for the tip.

No, that wasn't my suggestion, although they could be A and B and then hyphenated for use in the profile feature control frame.
If you're using ASME Y14.5, then the simplest solution would be the CF designation, which would define the datum as coming from the full bore (through) and it would also tackle the issue of locating those 28 diameters to each other.
I don't know the function, and I don't know what the full drawing looks like -- maybe that issue has already been controlled.

Another solution would be to specify "2X" before the diameter 28 dimension and apply a position tolerance without datum references to that dimension (possibly with the value of 0@MMC, then it should be equivalent to the CF application). Then the datum feature A symbol can be attached to the position feature control frame or aligned with the dimension of the 28 diameter to indicate that the two nominally coaxial bores form datum feature A together.
 
Sa-Ro,
Another minor issue is that if you are working according to ASME Y14.5, the dimensions should be displayed differently: they need to be read horizontally.

If you're using ISO standards, then some of the guidance you received above in this entire thread is either irrelevant or incomplete (it is only ASME compliant).
 
Can you provide any reference standards for this?

The standards are the rule book. If you don't have a copy to refer to then you need to get one.

I am using ASME Y14.5:2018 standard.

I have seen examples for CF as below.

Is it possible to use CF as below?

As per ASME Y14.5:2018, para 3.10 and 3.11 CF defined as "two or more interrupted features". Till date I thought of interrupted by material removal.

My bores are different in size Dia 28 and dia 30

To accommodate many dimension in less space, I am using dimensions aligned vertically.

I have ASME Y14.5:2018 book. But unable to locate the guideline for implied zero dimension for linear.

Thank you.
 
Hi, Sa-Ro:

The second image you posted is not considered a CF as they are two separate features. You will need to use "Multiple Datum". You can use either A - B, A1 - A2, or X - Y to label them as multiple datum in your FCF. There is an image (Fig.7-16) on page 78 in ASME Y14.5-2018 that shows this application. You can also refer to Fig. 4-4 and 4-23 in ASME Y14.5-2009.

Best regards,

Alex

I disagree with A1 - A2 in an FCF. "A1" and "A2" may only be datum targets labeling datum feature "A".
