Patterns of Features - Creating Patterns
   Remember How to Create a Pattern.

Creating patterns of features may greatly simplify a drawing. Patterns of features may be used to establish datum reference frames. They may also take advantage of composite tolerancing. Three common ways to establish a pattern are:

  • Use the principle of simultaneous requirements.
  • Add a note.
