When expressed without an M or L modifier, the Position tolerance works on an RFS basis. It needs to be accounted for independently of the Size tolerance as shown. Position Tolerance on a Shaft expressed without a modifier When expressed without an M or L modifier, the Position tolerance works on an RFS basis. It needs to be accounted for independently of the Size tolerance as shown. Position and Orientation Tolerance on a Feature of Size When Position as well as Orientation tolerance is applied to the same Feature of Size, the Orientation tolerance serves to refine the tolerance of Size. Once the Position variation is accounted for by DVA, a separate accounting of Orientation is not required to be done. Datums Projected Tolerance Zone
