More and more enterprises are adding GD&T requirements to their conventionally toleranced engineering drawings, necessitating training of this type. An understanding of GD&T is required in order to correctly interpret these GD&T controlled engineering drawings. The basics of GD&T will be reviewed. Included will be some hands-on examples of measuring of part features using the application of GD&T principals. Starting with basic print reading knowledge, the seminar will cover the symbols, terminology and rules of GD&T as based on the current version of the standard ASME Y14.5M-1994. Learning Objectives: Upon completion of the seminar, participants will be able to: *Identify datums and their use *Understand the relationship of size dimensions to the form of the part *Interpret feature control frames *Compute Maximum Material Condition (MMC) & Least Material Condition (LMC) values *Compute positional tolerance zones including use of bonus tolerancing *Design simple MMC gages under GD&T control *Interpret the five general rules of GD&T *Inspect to composite positional tolerancing requirements *Apply graphical inspection analysis to GD&T control
