How are reference dimensions shown on a drawing? There is no GD&T symbol for a reference dimension. Reference dimensions are shown on a drawing as a value enclosed in parentheses.
Reference Dimension - A dimension, usually without tolerance that is used for information purposes only. It does not govern production or inspection operations. A reference dimension is a repeat of a dimension or is derived from other values on the drawing or related drawings. Symbology: (.250) GD&T Reference & Training Books:
Reference dimensions are supplementary measurements provided on an engineering drawing to clarify the size or location of features, but they are not intended to control manufacturing or inspection processes.
A Reference Dimension is a dimension given to any features that are just for reference – or visualization purposes. These are called out on a drawing using parenthesis (i.e., 5.125). It also could be a dimension that is described on another drawing or elsewhere.
A reference dimension is a dimension on an engineering drawing provided for information only. [1] Reference dimensions are provided for a variety of reasons and are often an accumulation of other dimensions that are defined elsewhere [2] (e.g. on the drawing or other related documentation).
The standard states: “A digital data file or an appropriate view on a drawing shall define the true profile”. Depending on the profile shape and datums referenced, profile tolerances can control size, form, orientation, and/or location.
The purpose of dimensioning is to provide a clear and complete description of an object. A complete set of dimensions will permit only one interpretation needed to construct the part. Dimensioning should follow these guidelines. Accuracy: correct values must be given. Clearness: dimensions must be placed in appropriate positions.
Basic dimension — a numerical value defining the theoretically exact size, location, or orientation relative to a coordinate system. Basic dimensions are enclosed in a rectangular box & have no tolerance. Reference dimension — a numerical value enclosed in parentheses, provided for information only.
