Indication of Dimensions and Tolerances: ISO129-1: 2004 Part 1: General Principles

This document discusses the general principles of indicating dimensions and tolerances according to ISO129-1:2004 Part 1. It outlines that all dimensional information should be complete, dimensions should only be shown once, and that dimensions, symbols and annotations should be readable from the bottom or right side of drawings. It also discusses the elements of dimensioning, features that can be dimensioned, and guidelines for dimension placement and formatting dimensions.

Indication of Dimensions and Tolerances

ISO129-1: 2004 Part 1: General principles

2013/10/8

General Principle
All dimensions, graphical symbols and annotations shall be indicated such that they can be read from the bottom or right-hand side (main reading directions) of the drawing All dimensional information shall be complete and shown directly on a drawing unless this information is specified in related associated documentation Each feature or relation between features shall be dimensioned only once Where all linear dimensions are expressed in the same unit, the unit symbol may be omitted, provided the drawing or associated documentation carries a statement of the unit used

Elements of Dimensioning
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Dimension line Dimension value Terminator Extension line Leader line Reference line

Discussion
Technical Documentation As Design Definition Good technical documentation should: Contain just enough information, no more, no less Unambiguous Anticipate questions and give direct answers

Example - Dimensioning

Linear: 9 Radial: 1 Angular: 0

Linear: 5 Radial: 1 Angular: 0

Linear: 5 Radial: 1 Angular: 1

Dimension to External Features


Document only the results, thus can be produced after the form is completed Most of the dimensions are position of edges and corners Requires a lot of calculation to duplicate the form in CAD or physically
Total 10 dimensions

Dimension to geometrical datum


Document the pattern creation process Dimensions are fundamental geometrical entities such as lengths, widths, radius centre of circles, etc. Can be used for CAD modelling directly, some calculation required for physical modelling
Total 7 dimensions

Dimension to Boolean Operation


Document the cutting and shaping operations Dimensions are measurements taken during physical modelling operations, some of the features no longer exist Can be used for physical and CAD modelling directly
Total 6 dimensions

End Note
Dimensions should be placed on that view or section which shows the relevant features most clearly Where several features or objects are depicted in close proximity, their relative dimensions should be grouped together, separately, for ease of reading
