What are multiview drawings?
Multiview drawings are used to describe the exact shape and size of an object.
What is a limit tolerance?
A permitted variation from a given dimension or an permissable variation from a given dimension.
When aligned vertically the larger dimension is placed on top.
What are Basic Dimensions?
Basic dimensions are dimensions that show only the general size of an object without any limitations.
Define tolerance
The permissible amount a dimension can vary in size during manufacturing and construction.
What type of tolerance is this?

Limit Tolerancing
Tolerances that allow variation in only one direction
Unilateral Tolerancing
Tolerances that indicate a range above and below a specific dimension
Plus and Minus Tolerance
Should Tolerances be used on chain dimensioning?
No, because chain dimensioning accumulates the entire range of tolerances for the length of the part.
What is a Datum
A reference location easy to locate and measure.
