    Drafting Symbols

    Symbols provide a common language for drafters all over the world. However,
    symbols are meaningful only if they are drawn according to relevant standards or
    conventions. This document describes and illustrates common dimensioning, GD&T,
    architectural, piping, and electronic symbols.

    Geometric Dimensioning and


    Tolerancing Symbols
    You can create a library of GD&T symbols, use AutoCAD GD&T tools, or use
    an AutoCAD GD&T font to insert symbols as text. The following tables show
    examples of GD&T symbols. For complete coverage of GD&T, refer to Geometric
    Dimensioning and Tolerancing by David A. Madsen and David P. Madsen, published
    by Goodheart-Willcox.
