A system of dimensioning which requires all numerals, figures, and notes to be aligned with the dimension lines so that they may be read from the bottom (for horizontal dimensions) and from the right side (for vertical dimensions) the tightest possible fit between two mating parts. A private, non-profit organization that coordinates the development and use of a voluntary consensus standards in the United States.

be read from the bottom (for horizontal dimensions) and from the
right side (for vertical dimensions).
The tightest possible fit between two mating parts.
A private, non-profit organization that coordinates the
development and use of a voluntary consensus standards in the
United States.

A professional engineering organization that is known for setting


codes and standards for mechanical devices in the United States.
The understanding of the consumer group for which the design is
targeted. This would include the audiences, demographics,
physical location, amount of time available to view the design,
and interest in the subject matter.
A view that is used to show features that are located on an
inclined surface in true size and shape.
System of dimensioning in which all dimensions are placed from
a datum and not from feature to feature. Also referred to as
Datum Dimensioning.
A circle with a single number connected to an assembly
component with a leader line to refer to parts.
A tolerance in which variation is permitted in both directions from
the specified dimension.
A hole that does not go completely through the work piece.

Broken-Out Section

A section of an object broken away to reveal an interior feature


for a sectional drawing.

Chain
Dimensioning
Clearance Fit

Also known as point-to-point dimensioning where dimensions are


established from one point to the next.
Limits the size of mating parts so that a clearance always results
when mating parts are assembled.
A cylindrical recess around a hole, usually to receive a bolt head
or nut.
A conical-shaped recess around a hole, often used to receive a
tapered screw.
A line drawn on a view where a cut was made in order to define
the location of the imaginary section plane.

Datum

A theoretically exact point, axis, or plane derived from the true


geometric counterpart of a specific datum feature. The origin from
which the location, or geometric characteristic of a part feature, is

established.
A dimensioning system where each dimension originates from a
common surface, plane, or axis. Also known as baseline
dimensioning.
A tool used to compare design solutions against one another,
using specific criteria.
A dimensioned, working drawing of a single part. Also referred to
as part drawing.
A view that is used to show a magnified view of features that are
too small to adequately specify in another view.
Where alternate units are displayed within the same dimension.
An inside radius between two intersecting planes.
To show lines or objects shorter than their true size.
Foreshortened lines are not perpendicular to the line of sight.

Full Section

A sectional drawing based on a cutting plane line that extends


completely through an object.

Half Section

A sectional drawing based on a cutting plane line that cuts


through one-quarter of an object. A half section reveals half of the
interior and half of the exterior.
Notes placed separate from the views; relate to the entire
drawing.
The amount of overlap that one part has with another when
assembled.

Limit Dimensions

Limits the size of mating parts so that an interference always


results when mating parts are assembled.
This is a worldwide organization that creates engineering
standards.

The smallest size limit of an external feature and the largest size
limit of an internal feature.
The largest and smallest possible boundaries to which a feature
may be made as related to the tolerance of the dimension.
Local Notes
Connected to specific features on the views of the drawing. Also
known as annotations.
Location Dimension A location dimension that defines the relationship of features of
an object.
Market Research
The activity of gathering information about consumers needs and
preferences.
Nominal Size
The designation of the size established for a commercial product.
Part Drawing
A drawing that contains all the information for making one part of
the design.
Parts List
A list of materials or parts specified for a project. Also referred to
as a bill of materials or BOM.
Pitch

to the same corresponding point on the next unit; used in threads,

A dimension, usually without a tolerance, used for information
purposes only. A reference is a repeat of a given dimension or
established from other values shown on a drawing. Reference
dimensions are enclosed in ( ) on the drawing.
An outside radius applied to corners.
Thin lines used in a section view to indicate where the cutting
plane line has cut through material.
A view that is used to show details not apparent on the exterior of
the part.
Placed directly on a feature to identify a specific size or may be
connected to a feature in the form of a note.
The dimension noted or, in the case of a tolerance, the part of the
dimension from which the limits are calculated.

Spotface

A shallow recess like a counterbore, used to provide a good


bearing surface for a fastener.

Survey

An investigation of the opinions or experience of a group of


people, based on a series of questions.

technical or business purposes.
The acceptable amount of dimensional variation that will still
allow an object to function correctly..
