GD&T Symbols
GD&T Symbols
(OP)
I am working with a drawing that came out of the Czech Republic, and it has some symbols I'm not familiar with. One is a vertical line "|" and the other is a caret symbol "^". Any ideas on what these mean?

My guesses would be that the hole is being given a Positional Tol, and the shelf is given a parallel tol.

I also agree about the missing font.

It's not just the GD&T symbols -- this seems to be an ad-hoc or local GD&T variant. Perhaps the vertical line is a location symbol, with the carat a perpendicularity symbol. The uncapitalized x's are capitalized X's. AB as a datum is A primary anb B secondary -- and so forth. If you had a lot of their drawings, you could set up a rosetta stone to perform the translation.
