- [Narrator] For this example, we're not going to focus
on geometric tolerancing specifically,
but how to initiate the feature
and use the feature inside of solid works.
So if we go up here to the annotation tab in the middle,
we find geometric tolerance.
If we turn this on,
we can create a geometric tolerance blocks
with all of the symbols,
tolerances,
primary and secondary references available to us.
So if I want to really quick, we start with a symbol.
We have straightness, flatness, circularity,
all the other geometric features that are called out.
I'm going to select flatness.
We can put in our tolerance manually.
I'm going to go 0.1.
And then after that,
we can select another symbol that relates to that
either maybe a maximum material condition,
maybe a free state,
whatever, depending on how you want to inspect
and hold the tolerance on this part.
So I'm just going to put a maximum material note.
If you want to have a second tolerance,
you can add that as well.
And just going further out, you can add other references
on top of that.
For this example I'm going to turn the second tolerance off,
click okay,
and now you can see that my geometric tolerance
was created on the screen.
I can drag it over.
I can create a leader
which I can point to specific surfaces
depending on how that geometric tolerance is used.
Now, GD and T is a very complex subject.
And I do suggest before you add any notes on it
you're probably going to want to get some training in GD and T.
Here on LinkedIn Learning
there is a GD and T introduction class
that I highly suggest that you check out.
You can also find several other references online
and an engineering manuals,
specifically you'll want to check out
the ASME standard document for drawings
which also goes into detail.
It actually is the detail
of what defines geometric tolerancing.
So I highly suggest checking that out.
But if you want to create any specific call-outs
just go up to the geometric tolerance tool,
turn it on,
and all of your options are here
and you get your preview down below.
