I have three holes on a common centerline. I want to maintain a close distance to the centline with respect to each other. However, I can allow the centerline a large tolerance from the edge of the plate. If I apply a large tolerance from the centerline to the edge won't each hole be allowed to differ from the centerline by that tolerance via 14.5? How do I dimension the drawing to accomplish my goal.
Thanks

Take a look at composite tolerancing. Specifically, Fig 5-19 and Fig 5-20 on pages 96-106 of ASME Y14.5M - 1994
 
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of 14.5. Can you point me to somewhere on the web I can take a look at it?

Thanks

The ASME website would be happy to set you up with your own personal copy (or company, if the case may be.)
 
Yeah, ASME will sell you an ASME Y14.5-2009 for $169.00, or less if you're a member. It's "spendy" as they say in Oregon and Wisconsin, but you should have one.
 
Thanks CheckerRon. So used to having a copy on hand, - the auxillary web references are rarely at the fingertips. One to add to that list of old designer recollections: If you're going to stay in the business, buy some tools.
 
Bill,

Do you have any GD&T materials on hand (books, pocket guides, etc.) ? If you do, one of us might have the same book and be able to point you to the appropriate section.

I really don't have any information in print form. I was using the site that CheckerRon listed above. It seems to have enough information there.
Thanks
