Dimensioning

tolerance

superimposed running dimension

chain dimension

Parallel dimension

consists of dimensions from a common reference point

simplify parallel dimensions to reduce space used

to dimension small features, do like ->| |<- this

used only if function of object unaffected by accumulation of tolerances

combined dimension

both chain and parallel dimensioning

N x Dimension for multiple same dimensions

Circle dimensioned by diameter, arc by radius R, holes by centerlines, angles by curved dimensioned line with degree symbol

Assembly

Bilateral Tolerance

Unilateral Tolerance

Limit tolerance

upper and lower limits of dimensions are specified.

allowed to vary in two directions from the specified dimension. Both directions need not vary by the same amount.

only vary in one direction

formula: Upper limit-Lower limit

two joints focused on

Rigid Joint

Revolute Joint

Fixes two components to one another; it provides zero degrees of freedom.

Has a single rotational degree of freedom
