Goals and Objectives

Lesson 10: Planar Datums
Goal: Understand the datum system (planar datums).

  • Describe the datum system.
  • List three benefits of the datum system.
  • Define an implied datum.
  • Define a datum.
  • Define a datum feature.
  • Define a true geometric counterpart.
  • Define a datum feature simulator.
  • Define the datum feature symbol.
  • Describe four ways to specify a planar datum.
  • Describe how to reference datums in a feature control frame.
  • Describe a datum reference frame.
  • List six degrees of part freedom in space.
  • Describe coplanar datum features.

Lesson 11: Datum Targets
Goal: Interpret datum targets.

  • Describe datum targets.
  • List three situations where datums targets should be used.
  • Recognize the datum target symbol.
  • State when a datum target specification is on the front or back surface in a view on a drawing.
  • Describe why basic dimensions are used to locate datum targets.
  • Draw a simulated gage for a datum target point specification.
  • Draw a simulated gage for a datum target line specification.
  • Draw a simulated gage for a datum target area specification.


Lesson 12: Size Datums (RFS)
Goal: Interpret feature of size datum specifications at RFS.

  • Describe the datum that results from a feature of size datum feature.
  • List three ways to specify an axis as a datum
  • List three ways to specify a centerplane as a datum.
  • Explain how feature of size datum references communicate size condition.
  • Draw the datum feature simulator for an external feature of size datum axis (RFS primary).

  • Draw the datum feature simulator for an internal feature of size datum centerplane (RFS primary).
  • Draw the datum feature simulator for an external feature of size datum centerplane (RF primary).
  • Describe coaxial datum features.
