12.19COMPOSITE POSITION APPLICATIONS - COAXIAL HOLES
Composite position tolerancing may be used to control coaxial holes as shown in the
‘accompanying figure. In scenario #1 bolow, the position symbol is entered once and
applies for both the upper and lower segment. The uppar segment or .010 dia.
tolerance zone controls tho location and orientation of the four holes to the specified
datum roforence frame established by datum features A and 8. ‘The lower segment or
004 dia tolorance zone controls the location between the holes (coaxially). Since
datums are not entered in the lower segment, the orientation of this zone Is not
Controlled and is froe to tit or skew within the confines of the .010 dia upper segment
zone, Tho axes of the holes must li in both zones simultaneously. See the following
