Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T): Position Tolerances

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T): Position Tolerances

0.25 hr. Online Course

Level: Intermediate

Item#: RVI-11558

SME: Karl Heinze

GD&T position tolerances and dimensions define where features are located on a part with respect to other features. Position tolerances are typically used on holes, pins, tabs, slots, and other features of size. They are particularly useful when dealing with patterns of holes. This interactive, online course will discuss the use of GD&T for positional tolerances. It will also discuss bonus tolerance and functional gauges, as well as special considerations for positional tolerances.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Describe how to apply position tolerances to various features of size 
  •  Describe how to correctly identify and prioritize datum references 
  • Explain how LMC and MMC designators apply to tolerance values and to datums 
  • Describe how to specify a projected tolerance zone 
  • Describe how to apply position tolerances to coaxial features
