14 Tolerancing Mating Parts in a Floating Fastener Assembly

Readers will learn:

1. How to convert a floating fastener assembly with radial hole patterns from plus and minus tolerances to geometric tolerances.

2. How to assign the optimal datum features.

3. How geometric tolerances and datum features look when assigned to a CAD model.

4. How to tolerance two-single segment position tolerances to mating parts in an assembly.

5. How to hold tight tolerances for important functional relationships and loose tolerances for less important relationships.

6. How datum shift due to maximum material condition symbols used after multiple datum features on multiple parts accumulate and affect an assembly.
