Bonus tolerance from features.

I have a 5 sided square slot. The top is the open side. The print calls for a mmc position tolerance on the pocket/slot I am referencing however the program I am using has the position programmed as two opposing sets of planes, each set has a midpoint constructed between them and the position is applied to the point.

How do I construct the pocket as it's own complete feature (all 5 sides of the square, with the top open) and allow for the size of that feature to apply itself to the bonus tolerance of the position of the feature?​

  • Thanks for the advice. I am going to level 2 and 3 training this month so hopefully I will get more answers. I will give these suggestions a try the next time those parts come through. I can see how converting the square with T.P. to a circle or cylinder would work for allowing bonus from the feature but I am not sure how well it would work for something like creating a MMB from a datum, however I have not tried constructing a feature of size as a width and trying to apply it in Xact, only tried it in legacy. I also don't think the 2015 version has GeoTol? Great info. I'll repost when I try these.

    Side note: Does anyone know what I can expect from level 2 and 3 training?
  • Geotol begins with 2020R2 and then later releases, 2020R1 and some prior have xact (I don't remember what version it started in)
