Summary
Position MSS (multi-single segment) feature control frames apply multiple position requirements to the same feature or pattern.
Definition
An MSS FCF contains two or more position segments. Each segment is a separate requirement and can reference different datum frames. Basic dimensions locate the true position for each requirement.
When to use it
Use position MSS when a feature needs to satisfy multiple position requirements, such as different functional datum frames.
Examples
Example: Position MSS on a hole pattern
Two position segments with different datum references controlling the same pattern.
Common mistakes
- Missing basic dimensions that locate the true position.
- Missing datum references for planar features of size.
- Omitting the diameter modifier for cylindrical features of size.
- Repeating the same datum reference set across segments.
