4.2.396 Position_tolerance

A Position_tolerance is a constraint on the location of a Shape_element. It defines a zone within which the centre, axis, or centre plane of the considered Shape_element is permitted to lie.

NOTE 1 Basic dimensions establish the true position from specified datum features and between interrelated features.

NOTE 2 The concept of position tolerances is defined in ISO 5458 [14].

A Position_tolerance is a type of Geometric_tolerance.

The data associated with a Position_tolerance are the following:

4.2.396.1 affected_plane

The affected_plane specifies the plane in which a certain type of geometric tolerance applies. This attribute covers information that corresponds to the drawing plane on drawings. If the affected_plane attribute is not specified, the tolerance applies in all directions which results in a cylindrical tolerance zone (on drawings indicated by the diameter symbol).

EXAMPLE Figure 55 illustrates the meaning of the affected_plane in the case of a Position_tolerance.

See position_tolerance to reference_plane for the application assertion.

The affected_plane need not be specified for a particular Position_tolerance.

4.2.396.2 reference_datum

The reference_datum specifies the Datum_reference objects that define the reference for this type of geometric tolerance.

See position_tolerance to datum_reference for the application assertion.
