    Datum callout question

    I have strong suspicion that simulated datum feature will rather look like this:

    Dimensions for a u-bolt

    There in no standard for u-bolts. You will have take your inspiration in catalogues.

    How to use profile of surface feature control frame to control max. protrusion?

    With MAX dimension the other limit is ZERO, not INFINITY. So the unilateral tolerance cannot be larger than 26. Question: should it really be MAX?

    General Profile Tolerance Interpretation

    I knew I saw it somewhere. (https://www.eng-tips.com/threads/unused-portion-of-profile-tolerance-zone.465737/#post-8549677) Yes, indeed, the printed version is different from the DRM PDF version

    Y14.5 Drafting

    Greenimi, Yes, indeed. I saw one not so long ago. Cannot post it because of "proprietary" thing. ;)

    Y14.5 Drafting

    It may or may or may not be locked by admin. Some companies go both ways. Someone has to be thought what this means. As well as many other things.

    Y14.5 Drafting

    I opened my software. Which one to chose?

    Runout Tolerance Applied on an Assembly

    There is no chiseled in stone rule how exactly feature has to be fixtured to produce datum axis. Shaft being installed on bearings inside of a motor, pump, etc. is no better and no worse than shaft installed on v-blocks. It looks like using GD&T on assemblies is a next big thing, and Fig. 12-16...

    Runout Tolerance Applied on an Assembly

    I guess the answer to the OP's question is: "Why not?" There are hundreds of situations when it makes sense to measure runout of assembled part. And it it is done in thousands of shops tens of thousands of times. And it's called "Runout". 2018 simply legalizes the fact. Or take a look from...

    I posted this thread on Mechanical Engineering - generic - should probably be here

    It looks like the technique has its roots in 50-s / 60-s simplified/functional drafting aiming at reducing manual paper-and-pencil design time. The idea become less relevant with proliferation of CAD systems, but some standards still carry recommendations clearly aiming at manual drafter...

    Basic Dim on Series of Holes

    Is anyone concerned by the fact that there is no target to meet and no tolerances to stack without FCF anyway?

    Proper GD&T for interrupted threads?

    ASME Y14.5 vs ISO 1101 in Australia / internationally

    Sliding fit using GDT

    Sliding fit using GDT

    Back in good old times using ISO standard tolerances and fits would automatically imply Envelope requirement. New edition of ISO 286 removed that, but you still can specify Envelope requirement individually if you want your size to also control things like form and orientation. "For every...

    ISO - Flatness CZ of Offset Features

    Since no datum is referenced, the frame will only control relations of features to each other. It still looks like flatness may be not the best choice. "For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert" Arthur C. Clarke Profiles of the future

    Full list of ASME allowed letters for revisions and view labels

    It's hard to imagine something going thru 8000 revisions and still backwards-compatible. (Otherwise new part number is in order) Just ¢2 "For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert" Arthur C. Clarke Profiles of the future
