Profile

 Define line and surface profile tolerances. Apply profile tolerances to define allowable variation within a limited zone on a feature or all of a feature. Apply profile tolerances to extend all around the profile shown in a drawing view. Complete profile tolerance specifications to achieve any of the possible levels of control. Sketch the tolerance zone created by profile tolerance specifications.

Line Profile
Control single line elements on a feature Each element is independent of all others Control is only parallel to the profile to which the tolerance is applied

Surface Profile
Control all elements on a feature When applied to one surface on a feature of size, the size tolerance also affects the surface requirements Simplest level of control, controls form only

Profile Directions
Bidirectional profile tolerance
Centered on true profile

Unequally distributed profile tolerance

Unidirectional profile tolerance applied to more material Unidirectional tolerance applied to less material Unequal disposed tolerance applied to allow more or less material

Control of Form Only

Other tolerances must establish location and orientation Profile tolerance must not contain datum feature reference

Control of Form, Orientation, Location

Surface is located by basic dimensions Datum references included

Coplanarity, Orientation, and Location

All contained in one tolerance Profile tolerances control location, orientation, and coplanarity if the features are:
Form defined by basic dimensions Location defined with a basic dimension Datum references are shown

Composite Profile Tolerances

Form tolerances tighter than location or orientation tolerances Datum references in first segment constrain translational and rotational degrees of freedom Second segment constrains only rotational
