Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Principles and Practices provides thorough coverage of GD&T practices, as established by the ASME Y14.5–2018 standard. From understanding symbols on existing drawings to calculating the tolerances for proper size and location of features, topics are introduced in a methodical manner to establish an understanding of basic concepts before building to more advanced applications. Heavily illustrated, the use of second color enhances learning by highlighting callouts and labels separately from the symbols and text of each drawing. This textbook is an approved American Design Drafting Association (ADDA) publication.
