Decimal places required for angles

[ringman]

Using Y14.5 and decimal inch on drawing, how should an angle of say 25.000 (basic) degrees be expressed. How many decimal places are required?

The Standard seems to be a little vague or again I am overlooking.

2.3.3 Angle Tolerances. Where angle dimensions
are used, both the plus and minus values and
the angle have the same number of decimal places.
EXAMPLE:
25.0° ±.2° not 25° ±.2°

 

[ringman]

When used in conjunction with positional tolerance, does the positional tolerance have any influence on the number of decimal places?

Supposing 6 holes at 60 degrees, with a positional tol of .005 dia. Is the angle required to have 3 trailing zeroes? Again by the Standard?

From a recent thread thread1103-222237

2.4 Interpretation of Limits.
All limits are absolute. Dimenisonal limits, regardless of the number of decimal places, are used as if they were continued with zeros

While a positional tolerance does determine the number of decimal places in inch dimensioning, I have found no references to it affecting angular dimensions. I have always used only as many decimal places as required to define the requirements, be it none or three.

Take a look at 2.3.2 (d) on pg. 25

As far as I know the number of trailing digits dictate the measuring equipment. For example: a dimension such as 10+/-0.1 need to be measured with a caliper having 0.01 accuracy. A dimension such as 10+/-0.10 has to be measured by a caliper or micrometer having 0.001 accuracy.
