Accessing the TOLERANCE tool displays the Geometric Tolerance dialog box. This is the primary method for adding feature control frames, geometric tolerancing symbols, and datum feature symbols. You can connect a leader to GD&T symbols using the QLEADER or MLEADER tool. The QLEADER tool provides a quick and effective option for automatically attaching GD&T symbols to a leader.  \nAnother option for placing GD&T symbols is to create your own blocks with attributes. You can insert blocks into the drawing and adjust the attribute data as needed. You can also add blocks to multileader lines using the Block multileader content type. Draw GD&T symbols on a dimensioning layer so the symbols and text can plot as objects that have the same thickness as extension and dimension lines (.01″ or 0.3 mm). The suggested text font is romans.shx. These practices correspond with the standard ASME Y14.2M, Line Conventions and Lettering.  \nNote   \nThis appendix introduces the use of AutoCAD to add GD&T symbols to 2D drawings. All applications in this appendix are based on AutoCAD 2010. Fora comprehensive understanding of how to use AutoCAD, refer to AutoCAD and Its Applications—Basics and AutoCAD and Its Applications—Advanced, or AutoCAD and Its Applications—Comprehensive, published by the Goodheart-Willcox Company, Inc.  \nUsing the Tolerance Tool  \nAccessing the TOLERANCE tool opens the Geometric Tolerance dialog box, which provides options for creating feature control frames. See Figure A1-1. Access the TOLERANCE tool from the Dimensions panel of the Annotate ribbon tab, or type TOLERANCE or TOL and press [Enter]. Areas divide the Geometric Tolerance dialog box into groups of compartments that relate to the compartments found in a feature control frame. Each area contains two levels to define a feature control frame.  \nThe first, or upper, level allows you to create a single feature control frame. The lower level allows you to create a double feature control frame. The dialog box also provides options for displaying a diameter symbol and a modifying symbol. In addition, the Geometric Tolerance dialog box allows you to display a projected tolerance zone symbol and value and create a datum identifier for a datum feature symbol.  \nExcerpted from GD&T ©2011 ISBN 978-1-60525-282-7  \nEnter a geometric tolerance value (single feature control frame)  \nEnter a geometric tolerance value (double feature control frame)  \nPick to select a material condition symbol  \nEnter a primary datum reference value  \nPick to select a geometric characteristic  \nsymbol  \nPick to display a diameter symbol  \nEnter a height value for the projected tolerance zone  \nPick to select a material condition symbol for the datum reference  \nPick to display the projected tolerance zone symbol  \nEnter a datum-identifying reference letter  \nFigure A1-1. You can use the Geometric Tolerance dialog box to draw geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) symbols and feature control frames.  \nSelecting a Geometric Characteristic Symbol  \nYou can access geometric characteristic symbols from the Sym area located at the far left of the Geometric Tolerance dialog box. This area has two boxes that allow you to display one or two geometric characteristic symbols. Pick one of the boxes in the Sym area to display the Symbol dialog box. See Figure A1-2 . Pick a symbol to add the symbol to the selected Sym box. After selecting, the Geometric Tolerance dialog box returns. Pick the same box again to select a different symbol if necessary. To remove a symbol, access the Symbol dialog box and pick the blank image in the lower-right corner.  \nPick the desired symbol  \nPick to remove a symbol from the Sym area  \nFigure A1-2.
