Tolerance is allowance for a specific variation in the size and geometry of a part. As we all
know, nothing is perfect. So engineers have come up with a way to make things close to
perfect by specifying Tolerances !
If a part is dimensioned properly, then the intent of the designer is clear to both the person
making the part and the inspector checking the part.
General tolerances for linear measures and level squares with four tolerance classes are
useful for simplifying drawings. By choosing the tolerance class precision levels common
in workshops should be taken into account.
If smaller tolerances are needed or bigger ones are more economical, then these
tolerances are indicated next to the nominal sizes

For nominal sizes below 0.5 mm, the limit measures are usually indicated directly at the
nominal measure. If general tolerances according to ISO2768-1 are valid, the following
has to be inserted in the title box, i.e. for tolerance class medium, it should be inserted as
ISO2768-m or general tolerance ISO 2768-m.
ANGULAR DIMENSIONS
DIN ISO 2768-2 is for simplifying drawing and fixes general tolerances in three tolerance
classes for form and position. By choosing a special tolerance class exactly the precision
level common in workshops should be taken into account.
If smaller tolerances are needed or bigger are more economical, these tolerances should
be mentioned directly according to ISO 1101.

General tolerances for form and position should be used while the tolerance principle
according to ISO 8015 is valid and while this is mentioned in the drawing. This tolerance
principle says that no opposite relation between measure, form and position tolerance
exists (principle of superposition).
General tolerances for form and position are valid for form elements for which form and
position tolerances are not indicated individually. They are applicable for all characteristics
of the form elements accept cylinders, profiles of any line or surfaces, inclines, coaxiality,
position and total movement.
