The use of GD&T slots in engineering drawings is becoming more common, as they can help to ensure that the design meets specific requirements. When using slots, it is important to understand their purpose and how to use them correctly.
First, it is important to understand that GD&T slots are used for dimensional accuracy. This means that the manufacturer can use the slots to verify the dimensions of a product before it is manufactured.
In some cases, slots can also be used for tolerances.
Second, it is important to understand how to use GD&T slots. Generally, you will want to insert the drawing into the computer and insert the correct slot. Next, you will need to identify the dimension that you are looking for. In most cases, this will be a length or a width.
After finding this dimension, you will need to identify the row and column in which it is located. Finally, you will need to identify the offset value for that dimension. This offset value will indicate how far down the slot should be moved when printing the drawing.
