One of the primary applications of positional tolerancing is related to bolt hole pattern locations. The advantage of this method accurately describes the functional requirements of mating hole patterns.
Above is a part drawing showing ONLY the necessary dimensions for the positional tolerance example.
The image below represents an actual part with the hole sizes and locational dimensions. Also, the formula for the actual position is included within the image to determine if each hole falls within their positional allowance.
NOTE: Let "X" = horizontal dimensions & "Y" = vertical dimensions.
Both holes fall within the positional allowance. Hole number two has a bonus tolerance of .003. When this happens, it is added to the .020 positional tolerance within the feature control frame. This is why the positional allowance on number two is .023.
