Surface Profile with Basic Dimensions. Reporting GD&T on Part Layout
Surface Profile with Basic Dimensions. Reporting GD&T on Part Layout
(OP)
Hello,
I have a single plane wire form (shaped like the letter "R")that is loaded with GD&T. There are several basic dimensions and a surface profile for this shape. Am I correct to inspect this part using a mylar drawn to theoretical exact size and making sure my parts falls within the surface profile boundries? Also, do I report GD&T on part layout, or just say "OK to Profile Tolerance"?

One could also measure the location with a CMM but in that case each location would have to be measured independently and reported likewise.
Since is wire is a feature of size, it would have been best if the drawing what shown in a positional tolerance at MMC. Your template could be reflected in the outer boundary (virtual condition size and location) and a template or checking fixture could easily been made.

I couldn't open you attachedment. There was none but I'll reply.
This was they way we did it.
-produced mylar (10x full scale)with profile lines shown at nominal, max and min. (placed mylar on shadow graph)to compare actual part against
-get your customer to approve your method
We used this method on non-critical areas of mfg. parts.
