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.
