Indicates that a tolerance applies to surfaces all around the part.

To apply a requirement to all features all around one side of a parting line, the graphical symbol for all around this side of parting line is indicated on the leader line.

To apply a requirement to all features all over one side of a parting line, the graphical symbol for all over this side of parting line is indicated on the leader line.

Is the condition of a surface, axis, or centerplane, which is at a specified angle from a datum plane or axis.

Indicating that a dimension is an arc length measured on a curved outline. The symbol is placed above the dimension.

Used to describe the exact size, profile, orientation or location of a feature. A basic dimension is always associated with a feature control frame or datum target. (Theoretically exact dimension in ISO)

To indicate that a profile tolerance applies to several contiguous features, letters may designate where the profile tolerance begins and ends. These letters are referenced using the between symbol (since 1994) or the word between on drawings made to earlier versions of the Standard.

Describes the condition on a surface of revolution (cylinder, cone, sphere) where all points of the surface intersected by any plane.

Creates a tolerance zone defined by two arcs (the minimum and maximum radii) that are tangent to the adjacent surfaces. Where a controlled radius is specified, the part contour within the crescent-shaped tolerance zone must be a fair curve without flats or reversals. Additionally, radii taken at all points on the part contour shall neither be smaller than the specified minimum limit nor larger than the maximum limit.

Is used to indicate a counterbore or a spotface. The symbol precedes the dimension of the counterbore or spotface, with no space.

Is used to indicate a countersink. The symbol precedes the dimensions of the countersink with no space.

Describes a condition of a surface of revolution in which all points of a surface are equidistant from a common axis.

Is the actual component feature used to establish a datum.

Is a specified point, line, or area on a part that is used to establish the Datum Reference Plane for manufacturing and inspection operations.

This symbol indicates that a datum feature simulator is not fixed at its basic location and shall be free to translate.

Is used to indicate that a dimension applies to the depth of a feature. This symbol precedes the depth value with no space in between.

Indicates a circular feature when used on the field of a drawing or indicates that the tolerance is diametrical when used in a feature control frame.

New in 2018 and is used with profile tolerancing. The function of the dynamic profile is to allow form to be controlled independent of size.

Is a rectangular box containing the geometric characteristics symbol, and the form, runout or location tolerance. If necessary, datum references and modifiers applicable to the feature or the datums are also contained in the box.

Is the condition of a surface having all elements in one plane.

Is a term used to describe distortion of a part after removal of forces applied during manufacture.

New in 2018 for the direction in which a tolerance or other requirement applies.

The Independency symbol is applied to the size dimension in order to invoke the principle of independency to regular features of size and override Rule #1.

Is that condition of a part feature wherein it contains the maximum amount of material within the stated limits of size. That is: minimum hole size and maximum shaft size.

The movable datum target symbol may be used to indicate movement of the datum target datum feature simulator.

Is the condition of a surface, line, or axis, which is equidistant at all points from a datum plane or axis.

Are depicted on casting, forging, and molded part drawings as a phantom line extending beyond the part in applicable views, with the parting line symbol added.

Is the condition of a surface, axis, or line, which is 90 deg. From a datum plane or a datum axis.

Is the condition permitting a uniform amount of profile variation, ether unilaterally or bilaterally, along a line element of a feature.

Is the condition permitting a uniform amount of profile variation, ether unilaterally or bilaterally, on a surface.

Applies to a hole in which a pin, stud, screw, etc., is to be inserted. It controls the perpendicularity of the hole to the extent of the projection from the hole and as it relates to the mating part clearance. The projected tolerance zone extends above the surface of the part to the functional length of the pin, stud, and screw relative to its assembly with the mating part.

A dimension usually without tolerance, used for information purposes only. It does not govern production or inspection operations. (Auxiliary dimension in ISO)

The condition where the tolerance of form, runout or location must be met irrespective of where the feature lies within its size tolerance.

Is used to indicate slope for flat tapers. This symbol is always shown with the vertical leg to the left.

Shall precede the tolerance value where the specified tolerance value represents spherical zone. Also, a positional tolerance may be used to control the location of a spherical feature relative to other features of a part. The symbol for spherical diameter precedes the size dimension of the feature and the positional tolerance value, to indicate a spherical tolerance zone.

Precedes the value of a dimension or tolerance.

Is used to indicate that a single dimension applies to a square shape. The symbol precedes the dimension with no space between.

Is the assigning of tolerances to related components of an assembly on the basis of sound statistics (such as the assembly tolerance is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual tolerances). By applying statistical tolerancing, tolerances of individual components may be increased or clearances between mating parts may be reduced. The increased tolerance or improved fit may reduce manufacturing cost or improve the product's performance, but shall only be employed where the appropriate statistical process control will be used. Therefore, consideration should be given to specifying the required Cp and /or Cpk or other process performance indices.

A condition where an element of a surface or an axis is a straight line.

Indicating a tangent plane is shown. The symbol is placed in the feature control frame following the stated tolerance.

Indicates where the datum target point is dimensionally located on the direct view of the surface.

The simultaneous composite control of all elements of a surface at all circular and profile measuring positions as the part is rotated through 360.

To indicate that a profile of a surface tolerance is not symmetrical about the true profile, this symbol is used. The first value in the feature control frame is the total width of the profile tolerance. The value following the symbol is the amount of the tolerance that is in the direction that would allow additional material to be added to the true profile.
