Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing - GD&T

Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, often referred to as GD&T, is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings and models to define the allowable deviation of feature geometry.

Datums

 

 A detailed look at Datums the most

important concept in GD&T  

 

How are they created? How are they applied? 

And what do they mean on the drawing?
