Summary

Angularity controls the orientation of a surface or axis at a specified basic angle to a datum.

Definition

The tolerance zone is oriented at the basic angle relative to the primary datum. For planar features the zone is two parallel planes, and for cylindrical features it is a cylindrical zone.

When to use it

Use angularity when a feature must be oriented at a specific angle to a datum, such as a chamfered face or angled bore.

Examples

Example: Planar surface at a basic angle
Angularity applied to a face with a basic angle and datum A reference.

Example: Cylindrical feature at a basic angle
Angularity applied to a hole axis using the diameter modifier.

Common mistakes

  • Missing the basic angle callout.
  • Missing the primary datum reference.
  • Applying angularity to a pattern.
  • Omitting the diameter modifier for cylindrical features of size.
