Creating Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and Datum Symbols<br />

380<br />

To apply surface geometric dimensioning and tolerancing symbols (from now on – GD&T symbols) or<br />

datum symbols, use the command “FO: GD&T Symbols”.<br />

A GD&T or datum symbol can be displayed with or without the leader line.<br />

The size of the GD&T symbols is dependent on the font size specified among the parameters of a particular<br />

element or system-wide in the command “ST: Set Model Status”, the tab “Font”.<br />

Enter the command “FO: GD&T Symbols”:<br />

Select Node (for GD&T or Datum Symbol attachment)<br />

Create leader or GD&T Symbol with leader<br />

Create leader or datum with leader<br />

Select GD&T Symbol<br />

Set relation with Dimension<br />

Execute Edit GD&T Symbol command<br />

Exit command<br />

Upon calling the command “FO: GD&T Symbols”, the pointer turns to the box shape. One can instantly<br />
