It does not tighten the location within the pattern. Parallelism is an orientation tolerance and never locates anything.
True position to one datum free#
However, there's not good way to put all those basic dimensions on a print. On this drawing the orientation of the 2 holes relative to the 1st and 2nd datum planes is refined with parallelism, but they are free to float relative to one another within their position tolerances of 0.5. I basically told them to establish a point at center break-out point of the hole, and then check the points XYZ back to ABC. I'm not sure that a "hole" even has basic dimensions to out-of-plane datums.
However, our suppliers never inspect to dimensions not on the print, so they just check the holes as dimensioned. You can calculate the true position with only one datum in the feature control frame - you need the deviation from the basic dimension from that basic dimensions origin. I had hoped the supplier would use the solid model to establish the basic dimensions back to ABC, and inspect to ABC. We and our supplier use solid model files with all of our inspections. Despite calling out TP to ABC, the print does not provide basic dimensions back to ABC, only basic dimensions to other features, as shown. The holes are currently called out TP back to ABC, which is their design intent (the holes are mounting points for parts that fit relative to other parts that mount at ABC.
True position to one datum how to#
How to Measure GD&T True Position In essence, true position is actually a very straight forward callout. After the tolerance is the tolerance modifier (M) and the primary, secondary and tertiary datum references. The second part is for the position of the features relative to each other as opposed to the datum frame. The far left denotes the true position GD&T symbol followed by the tolerance (.007). However, since engineer specified A datum, a basic radius and a max height of the circle. First create a true pos dimension for each of the features selecting the appropriate datum frame i.e., A,B,C, or from features created that represent 3-2-1 alignment. I have a spreadsheet that uses the following formula to attain the true position of 0.0200 to A, B, & C: 2SQRT ( (A7A7)+ (B7B7)+ (C7C7)) A7 is the deviation in the X direction, B7 is the deviation in the Y direction, & C7 is the deviation in the Z direction. True Position without datums is a tolerance of position to itself, always zero. This is not my engineering drawing and the customer is unwilling to change the FCF. It's definitely a different approach to defining the zone, but kinda clever, actually. There are separate standards that provide the details for each of the major symbols and topics below (e.g.
I have drawing snippets that I have attached. It's a means to control position of the tip of the bolt once threaded into the A datum bore. I'm new to the forum and actually have a very similar question to this one.
