On a manufacturing drawing what does it mean to hold dimension?
Every dimension has a shown or implied tolerance, the dimensions shown as HOLD are the dimensions that are not to be affected by the stack up of tolerances of the holes or features around them.
How do dimensions given in the specifications differ from the dimensions required on the working drawings?
If the working drawings are what is used to manufacture the object then there should be no difference. There will be more detail given in the working drawing but they would be engineering tolerances.
How do you find dimensions?
You take a ruler or tape measure and measure the dimensions you need.
What do you need to duplicate a rectangle?
You need to measure the dimensions.
What is the volume of 15 times 7?
If you multiply two measurements, you get only two dimensions - an area. For a volume, you need three dimensions.
When using a datums when inspecting manufactured parts do the dimensions have to be relative to each datum?
The dimensions have to be within the tolerances of a specified datum.
Why do engineers place tolerances on dimensions?
because to fine out up and down valu.

On a blueprint a dimension is located where on the dimension line?
The dimensions, tolerances and so forth is either over a horizontal line, or to the left of a vertical.
What is the difference between a general tolerance and specific tolerance?
when reading a blueprint, a general tolerance would apply for all dimensions that are not individually identified. eg, all tolerances are +\- .030" General tolerances are normally found in the information blocks of the blueprint. If for example a tighter tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is noted for certain areas of the blueprint. These tolerances are normally found beside the affected area.

What is baseline dimensioning?
Baseline dimensioning is a method of dimensioning in technical drawings where all dimensions are referenced from a single baseline, reducing the chance of errors due to accumulation of tolerances. It helps to maintain clarity and consistency in the layout of dimensions on a drawing.
Introduction to tolerance chart how it works?
A manufacturing tolerance chart can be defined as a graphical representation of a sequence of metal removal operations. Such a chart provides the raw material dimensions, the rough cut, semi finish and finish machining dimensions for each machining operation along with the machining tolerances, stock removal amounts for each cut and the resultant finish dimensions and tolerances. These charts were used for many years to help produce cost effective processes that provided the most liberal machining tolerances while meeting the B/P requirements. In recent years, because of increased machining accuracy, the tolerance chart is frequently ignored and processes are developed more by trial, error and experience.
Why are tolerances specified on machined components?
Because in any real-world process, there is always uncertainty, and if you measure with enough precision you will always find variation in dimensions. Tolerances are specified so the machinist knows what is 'tolerable' and what is not acceptable. Assuming you are working in inches... A drawing dimension might be 1.50 +/- .03 . That would usually be a pretty easy tolerance to hit on a machined part. The machinist knows he doesn't need to be obsessive about this operation, and it will fit into where it is going as long as it is between 1.47 and 1.53 . He can measure it with a scale. Now, if it is 1.5000 +/.0001, it is much more difficult. The machinist needs to be very carefull here. He's going to need a good setup on good machinery, and something very precise to check the part with, in order to make a part that works. It is crucial that engineers and designers think about the tolerances they put on part drawings, because overly tight tolerances cost money, and overly loose tolerances might result in assemblies that don't work. Most of the time, the machinist does not know the context the part will be used in, so he/she shouldn't be left to make those decisions himself. When making parts on NC equipment right off CAD models, it is necessary to provide tolerance guidance to the machine shop to make sure the final part meets the need. Critical dimensions need to be identified at a minimum.
