CHAPTER 13 GEOMETRIC
DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING
PROBLEMS
INSTRUCTIONS
From the selected problems, determine which views and
dimensions should be used to detail the part completely. Include
all dimensions needed using unidirectional dimensioning.
1. Make a multiview sketch of the selected problem as close to
correct proportions as possible. Be sure to indicate where
you intend to place the dimension lines, extension lines,
arrowheads, geometric tolerancing symbols, and hidden
features to help you determine the layout for your final
drawing.
2. Using your sketch as a guide, make an original multiview
drawing on an adequate size ASME-standard drawing sheet
with border and sheet blocks. Use an appropriate scale.
3. When using solid modeling software, create the solid model
using the given geometry and confirm the accuracy of the
given engineering information as you proceed. Consult with
your instructor or supervisor if you discover problems with
the geometry and revise the drawings as needed to make the
geometry accurate. Use your completed part solid models
to develop fully dimensioned 2-D detail drawings. Place a
3-D model in the upper left corner of the drawing for use as
a visualization aid.
4. Include the following general notes at the lower left corner
of the sheet .5 in. each way from the corner border lines:
NOTES:
1. DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES PER ASME Y14.5-2009.
2. REMOVE ALL BURRS AND SHARP EDGES.
Additional general notes can be required, depending on the
specifications of each individual assignment. Use the following
for tolerances for unspecified inch values. A tolerance block is
recommended as described in Chapter 2.
Unspecified Tolerances
Decimals In.
X6.1
XX 6.01
XXX 6.005
ANGULAR 630
FINISH 125 µin.
For metric drawings, provide a general note that states
TOLERANCES FOR UNSPECIFIED DIMENSIONS COMPLY
WITH ISO 2768-m. Provide a general note that states SURFACE
FINISH 3.2 µm UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
Each problem assignment is given as an engineer’s layout to
help simulate actual drafting conditions. Dimensions and views
on engineers’ layouts may not be placed in accordance with
acceptable standards. You need to review the chapter material
carefully when preparing the layout sketch. In some problems,
the engineer’s layout assumes certain information, such as the
symmetry of a part or the alignment of holes. You need to place
enough dimensions or draw lines between features to dimension
the part fully.
DRAFTING
TEMPLATES
To access CADD template files
with predefined drafting
settings, go to the Student
Companion Website, select
Student Downloads, Drafting
Templates, and then the
appropriate template file. Use
the templates to create new
designs, as a resource for
drawing and model content, or
for inspiration when developing
your own templates. The
ASME-Inch and ASME-Metric
drafting templates follow
ASME, ISO, and related
mechanical drafting standards.
Drawing templates include
standard sheet sizes and
formats and a variety of
appropriate drawing settings
and content. You can also use a
utility such as the AutoCAD
DesignCenter to add content
from the drawing templates to
your own drawings and
templates. Consult with your
instructor to determine which
template drawing and drawing
content to use.
