    Example of drawing identifying cut plane for examination of internal porosity in an aluminum casting

    I need to identify a cut/section plane and measuring field/s in a technical drawing for the inspection of internal porosity of an aluminum casting (destructive examination). I've checked ISO, VDA, BDG, NADCA, etc., but none give an example of how this should be noted on technical drawings. Of...

    Positional tolerance of features in a circular array at tangency

    Looking for some suggestions... I am having difficulty defining the positional tolerance of features in a circular array. In the attached illustration (first angle projection), the tangent point of each bump to the red diameter must lie in a tolerance zone defined by two cylinders 0.2 apart...

    Referencing a Datum feature of size multiple times

    I have a drawing with multiple pages. Datum A is defined as a feature of size on page 1. On page 2 we dimension another feature to the center plane of datum A. The center plane of datum A is represented by a centerline in this view, but because the centerline can be tied to multiple features...

    Bidirectional tol. vs 2 single segment feature control frames

    Can anyone explain the difference between controlling the position of an FOS with a bi-directional tolerance vs. a 2 single segment feature control frame (non-diametric)? Both indicate direction and magnitude relative to specific datums. What are the benefits of one method over the other?
