'NEW RULES' in GD&T [per ASME Y14.5-2009]

'NEW RULES' in GD&T is based on the ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. This 165 page text and workbook/answerbook reflects the new symbology, rules and basic principle revisions that took the Y14.5 committee almost 15 years to complete. It shows how to interpret design drawings and CAD representations of product definitions that use the items that have changed from the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard to the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard. It explains each rule and symbol change and shows how to apply and interpret the new Y14.5 practices that will allow dimensioning and tolerancing professionals to express their design requirements more clearly. The results of these changes are that: product representations are able to be more specific in conveying tolerancing needs, products can be more easily manufactured, and appropriate inspection techniques are clarified. This 'NEW RULES' in GD&T [per ASME Y14.5-2009] textbook and workbook/answerbook was written to highlight the revised concepts covered in ASME Y14.5-2009 as well as to explain some of the more difficult and advanced concepts allowed by, but perhaps not thoroughly explained, in the previous Y14.5 standard. This book is not meant to replace the 575 page textbook by James D. Meadows entitled Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing-Applications, Analysis & Measurement [per ASME Y14.5-2009] but, instead, to showcase only the topics and symbology that have changed from Y14.5M-1994 to Y14.5-2009.
