The Y14 5 standard defines basic dimension as a numerical value used to describe the geometric characteristics and precise size, profile, orientation, or location of a feature or datum target. Examples include rectilinear dimensions, diameters, and angles. In short, basic dimension is a tool used...
plus it needs to be stable, repeatable, and accessible. In this case, the mating of the cap and bottleneck are most important, so we choose the cap’s inner cylindrical surface as the primary datum. The secondary function is the mating...
Another important point that justifies implementing GD&T processes is that each geometric feature has a tolerance, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum limits within which a dimension may vary. Tolerances are used on technical drawings to control parts that must fit together into...

There is a lot to learn when it comes to mastering GD&T, so this post will serve as a starting point to help you understand the most important GD&T basics and concepts, including: CNC machining tolerances The Datum Reference Frame Basic Dimensions Interpreting GD&T Symbols Applying Geometric...
I believe that if the bore is the primary (or secondary) datum, you could have an ordinate basic dimension to the side surface of the part (the tertiary datum). But you would have to have a feature control frame controlling flatness (or some other control) for the side surface (tertiary...

This arrow marks the part feature under control. If it leads to a surface, the surface is under geometric control. If it marks a diametric dimension, then GD&T controls the axis. This arrow may not be present in some cases. Geometric characteristic symbol ...
In the example above, it is a location control but it can contain any of the control symbols. The first symbol in the second compartment indicates the shape of the tolerance zone. In this example, it is a diameter as opposed to a linear dimension. The number indicates the allowed ...
