Applications of GD&T ASME 14.5 - 1994 & 2009 Foundational Level
This course teaches the thought processes involved in assigning GD&T to components, and it changes the way many engineers think about part tolerancing. The course focuses on what constitutes good and poor drawing practices, common dimensioning methods used in industry, using GD&T to communicate system functions on component dimensions, and the logic of how to apply GD&T to components. You’ll also learn how to select datum features and how to fully define component surfaces using GD&T. Establishing tolerance values is not covered.
You’ll reinforce what you’ve learned by performing a design functional analysis on a part assembly provided by your company, then specifying GD&T on assembly components. (This is optional in case of concerns over drawing privacy.)
Each participant receives:- Applications of GD&T Workshop Exercise Workbook
- Course notes
- Drawing handouts
Small groups (8-12) are most effective in this hands-on workshop. Those attending will work in teams and actually create GD&T tolerance markups of their company parts.

- Use GD&T to communicate functional requirements of a component
- Describe how to specify nonfunctional dimensions
- Explain the five-step approach to functionally dimensioning a component
