This document establishes the general principles for presentation of dimensions and associated tolerances that apply to 2D technical drawings in all disciplines and trades but which can also be applied to 3D applications.

This document does not cover the application of dimensional tolerances and their meaning. See ISO14405‑1 for tolerancing principles. This document can only be used to describe the nominal model of a drawing, not the non-ideal surface model (skin model) used for tolerancing purposes (for more information on tolerancing specifications, see the list of GPS standards listed as normative reference or as bibliography)

Considering the ISO14405series, the presentation of tolerance indication is unambiguous when it is applied to a dimension which is a size and ambiguous when the dimension is not a size.

All rules presented in this document are available for any type of drawing (seeISO29845).

In addition, this document introduces the concept of property indicators, developed length, between, surface indicators, flag notes and textual instructions.

NOTE1 All figures are shown in 2D views only.

NOTE2 Additional information and details for construction engineering are given in ISO6284.
