Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing – Part One
Introduction to GD&T
This module covers dimension, tolerance, geometric tolerance, the purpose of an engineering detail drawing, and the history of the Y14.5 standard (Estimated completion time: 0.9 hours).
GD&T Terms and Symbols

Rules of GD&T
This module details the rules required by ASME Y14.5 for engineering drawings (Estimated completion time: 2 hours).
Geometric Tolerances
This module explains how engineers use geometric tolerances to convey the design intent of the form or location of features when size tolerances may be too restrictive (Estimated completion time: 1.6 hours).
Datums
This module explains how datums are the foundation that provides a method of aligning geometric tolerance zones to ensure features meet their intended design (Estimated completion time: 1.4 hours).
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing – Part Two
Form Tolerances
At the end of this module you will understand what a tolerance zone is, and be able to identify a tolerance zone for straightness, circularity, cylindrical, and flatness geometric tolerance (Estimated completion time: 1 hour).
Profile Tolerances
This module explains how profile geometric tolerances are used to define the limits of contours of lines and surfaces containing straight lines, arcs, partial cylinders, and even mathematically defined curves (Estimated completion time: 0.9 hours).
Orientation Tolerances
This module explains how orientation tolerances control the alignment of features to datum features (Estimated completion time: 1.2 hours).
Runout Tolerances
This module explains how runout tolerances reduce vibration and uneven wear of the features to which the tolerance is applied (Estimated completion time: 0.8 hours).
Location Tolerances
This module explains how geometric tolerances control the position of axes, center planes, surfaces, and midpoints of features to datum features (Estimated completion time: 1.2 hours).
