GD&T Advisor Dashboard - Geometric Control Properties
Geometric Control Properties
1. Stack Selectors — For some features, you can apply geometric tolerances to more than one element of the feature. For example, for a simple hole (pictured), you can apply geometric tolerances to the size dimension and directly to the feature surface. A separate annotation is created in the CAD model for each stack in which you have specified geometric controls.
2. Dimension Symbol — The dimension symbol (e.g., Ø or SØ) is defined automatically based on the dimension type.
3. Dimension Edit Button
Clicking on this button launches the Dimension Edit window, enabling you to specify the dimension properties for the dimension.
See Edit Dimension (ASME), or Edit Dimension (ISO) for more information.
4. Segment Control Tool
The segment control tool provides the ability to add or remove segments to the feature control frame.
– Add an independent segment.
– Add a composite segment.
– Remove segment.
The buttons for adding segments are automatically enabled or disabled to only allow you to add segments in conformance with selected tolerancing standard.
The button to remove a segment is only available for the lower-most segment.
5. Geometric Characteristic Symbol Selector
Clicking on this button displays a menu of geometric characteristic symbols that represent geometric controls that are applicable to the feature.
See Geometric Controls (ASME), or Geometric Controls (ISO) for more information.
6. Tolerance Zone Modifying Symbol — The tolerance zone modifying symbol (e.g., Ø) is defined automatically based on the feature type and specified geometric tolerance.
7. Tolerance Zone Size Value — Specify the desired value for the tolerance zone size here.
8. Tolerance Zone Material Condition Modifier
The tolerance zone material condition modifier is only displayed for applicable features of size.
Clicking on this button displays a menu of applicable material condition modifiers.
See Tolerance Zone Material Condition Modifiers (ASME), or Tolerance Zone Material Requirements (ISO) for more information.
9. Optional Modifiers
Clicking on this button displays a menu of optional modifiers (e.g., projected zone, etc.)
See Optional Modifiers (ASME), or Optional Modifiers (ISO) for more information
10. Datum Reference Frame Selector
Clicking on this button displays a menu of applicable datum reference frames (DRF) and the option to add a new DRF to the model
See Datum Reference Frame Selector for more information.
