	Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is a method for explicitly describing a geometry and the allowable variation in the size and position of its features.
		Dimension should be applied to features and arranged in such a way as to represent the function of the individual features.
		Dimensions and tolerances are valid at 20° Celsius unless stated otherwise.

		Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a language used on mechanical engineering drawings composed of symbols that are used to efficiently and accurately communicate geometry requirements for associated features on components and assemblies.
		Most engineers understand the geometric symbols, but often, true definitions are misinterpreted or inconsistently applied.
		Fully adopting and understanding the philosophy of GD& T will enable engineers to calculate, apply and analyse tolerances to guarantee that parts fit, function and are totally interchangeable at the design stage, before physical parts have been created.

	Interpretation of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
		Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GDandT) has become accepted around the world as the international symbolic language that allows engineers and machinists to use engineering drawings to communicate from the design stage through manufacturing and inspection.
		Beginning with basic principles, it uses a "building-block" approach with examples (some dimensioned and toleranced in inches and some in millimeters) to illustrate each concept and then reinforces the explanations with end-of-chapter self evaluation exercises (the answers to all questions and problems are contained in the back of the book).
		Interpretation of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing provides the information needed to become conversant in the techniques of GDandT and how to smoothly integrate this knowledge into engineering design and modern inspection systems.

		A model of Geometric Tolerance and Dimension (GD&T) information is being added to STEP as part of an upgrade to AP-203 called Edition 2.
		The new model is highly integrated with the existing model for geometry because the GD&T data qualifies geometric items already in the geometry model with tolerances and datums that may also be in the geometry model.
		This makes implementing the GD&T model almost as challenging as implementing the original geometry models that were very object oriented with many inheritance relationships.
