Rule 1-Indivdual Feature of Size

Where only a tolerance of size is specified,

the limits of size of an individual feature
prescribe the extent to which variations in
geometric form, as well as size, are
allowed. (ASTM Y14.5-2009).

Summary

All dimensions include controls of

geometry. Rule 1 states that a size control
inherently includes controls of form.
Because of Rule 1, the need for GDT
callouts is minimized. Use carefully.
GDT should be used to refine the
relationship between feature and form.
GDT should open tolerances. MMC should
reduce part cost.
