Understanding Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

GD&T is a system that uses symbols on engineering drawings and 3D models to explicitly define the nominal geometry of parts and allowable variations, telling manufacturers what level of accuracy and precision is required for controlled features. It defines nominal geometry, allowable variations in individual features and between multiple features.

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and

communicating engineering tolerances. It uses a symbolic language on engineering drawings and


computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describes nominal geometry and
its allowable variation. It tells the manufacturing staff and machines what degree of accuracy and
precision is needed on each controlled feature of the part. GD&T is used to define the nominal
(theoretically perfect) geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and
possible size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features.
