Datums Required for planar FOS; segments should not repeat the same datum set
Modifiers Diameter required for cylindrical FOS; tangent and unequal are not allowed; ST where allowed
Tolerance zone Multiple position segments, each defining its own zone

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.
