Per the title: Is it legitimate to use a projected tolerance zone for the position of a slot, as you would with a hole.
I think that it is legitimate based on my understanding of projected tolerance, but I've never come across it in the wild.
ASME Y14.5-2009 Para 7.4.1 recommends use of projected tolerance for fixed fasteners, but gives no mention of slots. An example of where I think that this might be appropriate for a slot would be a keyslot with an interference fit. If the tolerance is projected over the height of the key, the projected tolerance callout is very functional.
But, since I haven't ever seen projected tolerance used this way, I wonder if the intention would be clear to others.
Is the interpretation in the image below what one might expect?
