Here is the solution to the practice problem using GD&T:
The perpendicularity of plane 1 must be within a .005 tolerance zone relative to datum plane 2.
The overall height dimension of 2.00 ± .01 allows the feature to be anywhere between the two parallel planes shown in blue. However, the perpendicularity control frame restricts plane 1 to be within the .005 tolerance zone shown in red, which is perpendicular to datum plane 2.

GD&T: An International Language & and an Exact Language that provides Uniformity.
Dimensioning specifications define the nominal, as-modeled or as-intended geometry.
Tolerancing specifications define the allowable variation for the form and possibly the size of individual features, and the allowable variation in orientation and location between features
There are some fundamental rules that need to be applied
All dimensions must have a tolerance. Every feature on every manufactured part is subject to variation, therefore, the limits of allowable variation must be specified. Plus and minus tolerances may be applied directly to dimensions or applied from a general tolerance block or general note. For basic dimensions, geometric tolerances are indirectly applied in a related Feature Control Frame. The only exceptions are for dimensions marked as minimum, maximum, stock or reference.
Dimensions define the nominal geometry and allowable variation. Measurement and scaling of the drawing is not allowed except in certain cases.
Engineering drawings define the requirements of finished (complete) parts. Every dimension and tolerance required to define the finished part shall be shown on the drawing. If additional dimensions would be helpful, but are not required, they may be marked as reference.
Dimensions should be applied to features and arranged in such a way as to represent the function of the features. Additionally, dimensions should not be subject to more than one interpretation.
Descriptions of manufacturing methods should be avoided. The geometry should be described without explicitly defining the method of manufacture.
If certain sizes are required during manufacturing but are not required in the final geometry (due to shrinkage or other causes) they should be marked as non-mandatory.
All dimensioning and tolerancing should be arranged for maximum readability and should be applied to visible lines in true profiles.
When geometry is normally controlled by gage sizes or by code (e.g. stock materials), the dimension(s) shall be included with the gage or code number in parentheses following or below the dimension.
Angles of 90° are assumed when lines (including center lines) are shown at right angles, but no angular dimension is explicitly shown. (This also applies to other orthogonal angles of 0°, 180°, 270°, etc.)
Dimensions and tolerances are valid at 20 °C / 101.3 kPa unless stated otherwise.
Unless explicitly stated, all dimensions and tolerances are only valid when the item is in a free state.
Dimensions and tolerances apply to the length, width, and depth of a feature including form variation.
Dimensions and tolerances only apply at the level of the drawing where they are specified. It is not mandatory that they apply at other drawing levels, unless the specifications are repeated on the higher level drawing(s).
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is the new way of describing the dimensions and tolerances. It developed by engineers and used by engineers in engineering drawings or drafting. It plays a very important role in engineering design.
This presentation contains all the basic information about GD&T.
GD&T is a means of dimensioning & tolerancing a drawing which considers the function of the part and how this part functions with related parts.
GD&T has increased in practice in last 15 years because of ISO 9000.
ISO 9000 requires not only that something be required, but how it is to be controlled. For example, how round does a round feature have to be?
GD&T is a system that uses standard symbols to indicate tolerances that are based on the feature’s geometry.
Sometimes called feature based dimensioning & tolerancing or true position dimensioning & tolerancing

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Three Categories of
Dimensioning
Dimensioning can be divided into
three categories:
•general dimensioning,
•geometric dimensioning, and
•surface texture.
The following provides
information necessary to begin to
understand geometric
dimensioning and tolerancing
(GD&T)
6. Geometric
Dimensioning &
Tolerancing (GD&T)
s GD&T is a means of
dimensioning & tolerancing
a drawing which considers
the function of the part and
how this part functions
with related parts.
– This allows a drawing to
contain a more defined
feature more accurately,
without increasing tolerances.
7. GD&T cont’d
s GD&T has increased in practice in
last 15 years because of ISO
9000.
– ISO 9000 requires not only that something
be required, but how it is to be controlled.
For example, how round does a round
feature have to be?
s GD&T is a system that uses
standard symbols to indicate
tolerances that are based on the
feature’s geometry.
– Sometimes called feature based
dimensioning & tolerancing or true
position dimensioning & tolerancing
s GD&T practices are specified in
ANSI Y14.5M-1994.
8. For Example
s Given Table Height
Assume all 4 legs will be
cut to length at the same
time.
s However, all surfaces have a degree of
waviness, or smoothness. For
example, the surface of a 2 x 4 is
much wavier (rough) than the surface
of a piece of glass.
– As the table height is dimensioned, the
following table would pass inspection.
or
s If top must be flatter, you could tighten
the tolerance to ± 1/32.
– However, now the height is restricted to
26.97 to 27.03 meaning good tables would
be rejected.
9. Example cont’d.
s You can have both, by using
GD&T.
– The table height may any height
between 26 and 28 inches.
– The table top must be flat within
1/16. (±1/32)

10. WHY IS GD&T IMPORTANT
s Saves money
– For example, if large number
of parts are being made –
GD&T can reduce or eliminate
inspection of some features.
– Provides “bonus” tolerance
s Ensures design, dimension, and
tolerance requirements as they
relate to the actual function
s Ensures interchangeability of
mating parts at the assembly
s Provides uniformity
s It is a universal understanding of
the symbols instead of words
11. WHEN TO USE GD&T
s When part features are critical to
a function or interchangeability
s When functional gaging is
desirable
s When datum references are
desirable to insure consistency
between design
s When standard interpretation or
tolerance is not already implied
s When it allows a better choice of
machining processes to be made
for production of a part
12. TERMINOLOGY REVIEW
s Maximum Material Condition
(MMC): The condition where a size
feature contains the maximum amount
of material within the stated limits of
size. I.e., largest shaft and smallest
hole.
s Least Material Condition (LMC): The
condition where a size feature
contains the least amount of material
within the stated limits of size. I.e.,
smallest shaft and largest hole.
s Tolerance: Difference between MMC
and LMC limits of a single dimension.
s Allowance: Difference between the
MMC of two mating parts. (Minimum
clearance and maximum interference)
s Basic Dimension: Nominal
dimension from which tolerances are
derived.
13. LIMITS OF SIZE

s Datums must be
perpendicular to each other
– Primary
– Secondary
– Tertiary Datum
43. Primary Datum
s A primary datum is selected
to provide functional
relationships, accessibility,
and repeatability.
– Functional Relationships
» A standardization of size is desired in
the manufacturing of a part.
» Consideration of how parts are
orientated to each other is very
important.
– For example, legos are made in a
standard size in order to lock into
place. A primary datum is chosen
to reference the location of the
mating features.
– Accessibility
» Does anything, such as, shafts, get in
the way?
44. Primary Datum cont’d.
– Repeatability
For example, castings, sheet
metal, etc.
» The primary datum chosen must
insure precise measurements.
The surface established must
produce consistent
» Measurements when producing
many identical parts to meet
requirements specified.

– Secondary Datum
» Secondary datums are produced
perpendicular to the primary datum so
measurements can be referenced from
them.
– Tertiary Datum
» This datum is always perpendicular to
both the primary and secondary datums
ensuring a fixed position from three
related parts.

52. Orientation Tolerances
– Perpendicularity
– Angularity
– Parallelism
s Controls the orientation of
individual features
s Datums are required
s Shape of tolerance zone: 2
parallel lines, 2 parallel planes, and
cylindrical
53. PERPENDICULARITY:
s is the condition of a surface, center plane, or
axis at a right angle (90°) to a datum plane or
axis.
Ex:
The perpendicularity of
this surface must be
within a .005 tolerance
zone relative to datum A.
The tolerance zone is the
space between the 2
parallel lines. They are
perpendicular to the
datum plane and
spaced .005 apart.

58. ANGULARITY:
s is the condition of a surface, axis, or
median plane which is at a specific
angle (other than 90°) from a datum
plane or axis.
The surface is at a
45º angle with a .
005 tolerance zone
relative to datum A.
s Can be applied to an axis at MMC.
s Typically must have a basic
dimension.
59. PARALLELISM:
s The condition of a surface or center plane
equidistant at all points from a datum plane, or
an axis.
s The distance between the parallel lines, or
surfaces, is specified by the geometric
tolerance.

62. Maximum Material Condition
s MMC
s This is when part will weigh the
most.
– MMC for a shaft is the largest
allowable size.
» MMC of Ø0.240±.005?
– MMC for a hole is the smallest
allowable size.
» MMC of Ø0.250±.005?
s Permits greater possible
tolerance as the part feature
sizes vary from their calculated
MMC
s Ensures interchangeability
s Used
– With interrelated features with
respect to location
– Size, such as, hole, slot, pin, etc.
63. Least Material Condition
s LMC
s This is when part will weigh
the least.
– LMC for a shaft is the smallest
allowable size.
» LMC of Ø0.240±.005?
– LMC for a hole is the largest
allowable size.
» LMC of Ø0.250±.005?
64. Regardless of Feature Size
s RFS
s Requires that the condition of
the material NOT be
considered.
s This is used when the size
feature does not affect the
specified tolerance.
s Valid only when applied to
features of size, such as
holes, slots, pins, etc., with
an axis or center plane.
66. Position Tolerance
s A position tolerance is the total
permissible variation in the location
of a feature about its exact true
position.
s For cylindrical features, the
position tolerance zone is typically
a cylinder within which the axis of
the feature must lie.
s For other features, the center plane
of the feature must fit in the space
between two parallel planes.
s The exact position of the feature is
located with basic dimensions.
s The position tolerance is typically
associated with the size tolerance
of the feature.
s Datums are required.
67. Coordinate System Position
s Consider the following hole dimensioned with
coordinate dimensions:
s The tolerance zone for the location of the hole
is as follows:
2.000
.750
s Several Problems:
– Two points, equidistant from true position may not
be accepted.
– Total tolerance diagonally is .014, which may be
more than was intended.
68. Coordinate System Position
s Consider the following hole dimensioned with
coordinate dimensions:
s The tolerance zone for the location (axis) of the
hole is as follows:
Center can be
anywhere along
the diagonal
line.
2.000
.750
s Several Problems:
– Two points, equidistant from true position may not
be accepted.
– Total tolerance diagonally is .014, which may be
more than was intended. (1.4 Xs >, 1.4*.010=.014)
69. Position Tolerancing
s Consider the same hole, but add
GD&T:
s Now, overall tolerance zone is:
MMC =
.500 - .003 = .497
s The actual center of the hole (axis) must lie in
the round tolerance zone. The same tolerance
is applied, regardless of the direction.
70. Bonus Tolerance
s Here is the beauty of the system! The
specified tolerance was:
This means that the
tolerance is .010 if the
hole size is the MMC size,
or .497. If the hole is
bigger, we get a bonus
tolerance equal to the
difference between the
MMC size and the actual
size.
71. Bonus Tolerance Example
This means that
the tolerance is .
010 if the hole
size is the MMC
size, or .497. If the
.503
hole is bigger, we
get a bonus
tolerance equal to
the difference
between the MMC
size and the
actual size.
Actual Hole Size Bonus Tol. Φ of Tol. Zone
Ø .497 (MMC) 0 .010
Ø .499 (.499 - .497 = .002) .002 (.010 + .002 = .012) .012
Ø .500 (.500 - .497 = .003) .003 (.010 + .003 = .013) .013
Ø .502 .005 .015
Ø .503 (LMC) .006 .016
Ø .504 ? ?
s This system makes sense… the larger the
hole is, the more it can deviate from true
position and still fit in the mating condition!

74. s What if the tolerance had been specified as:
Since there is NO material modifier, the
tolerance is RFS, which stands for regardless
of feature size. This means that the position
tolerance is .010 at all times. There is no
bonus tolerance associated with this
specification.
s VIRTUAL CONDITION: The worst case

a size feature’s specified MMC or LMC
material condition and the specified geometric
tolerance.
