Welcome Back!
The ability to interact with ASME instructors who bring real world experience, examples, and best practices to life in our learning experiences is a major reason learners choose face to face training. Networking with peers is also a valuable part of the time spent together during a course. We are excited to start offering these important courses again in person.
Schedule: This course commences at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM local time, each day, with breaks scheduled throughout.
May Venue: This course will be held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in conjunction with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Week.

Not only is ASME’s Y14.5 Standard considered the authoritative guideline for the design language of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T); it is essential in ensuring that drawing information and symbols are being interpreted and communicated properly. Establishing uniform practices for stating and interpreting GD&T on engineering drawing and related documents is a critical component of the manufacturing of a part. These good design best practices are directly related to a product’s innovation, beauty and success.
This official ASME course is based on the latest ASME Y14.5-2018 Standard and makes the GD&T concepts easy to learn and apply. By combining lectures with animated graphics and display models, this course aims to ensure that all students are engaged throughout.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the fundamental geometric concepts
- Interpret and explain the application of geometric symbols on drawings
- Explain how to select the datum reference frames properly
- Calculate the position and profile tolerances
Who Should Attend?
Designers, approvers/decision makers, and personnel who need to read and/or interpret engineering drawings and their intent. Staff involved in engineering, designing, drafting, quality control, procurement, tooling, production, purchasing, manufacturing, and CAD inspection.
Course Materials (included in purchase of course):
- A copy of the 400-page GeoTol Pro 2020 Book and Pocket Guide, by Scott Neumann and Al Neumann, which contains full color graphics and loaded with student exercises. The training materials will serve as a valuable resource long after the training is complete
Topics covered in this course include:
- Introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
- Limits of Size, Rule #1
- How the Geometric Tolerancing System works (Profile and Position Tolerance)
- The Datum Reference Frame
- Product Plans and Position Tolerance Verification
- Orientation Tolerances (Parallelism, Perpendicularity, Angularity)
- Case Study Examples
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully attend and complete the course.
Topics Covered
Introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
- General overview
- Geometric characteristic symbols
- Rules, terms and definitions
- Introduction to measurement principles, open set-up and CMM (coordinate measuring machine)
Limits of Size

- Introduction to profile tolerancing
The Datum Reference Frame:
- Datums, datum features, true geometric counterparts
- Holes, slots, shafts, widths as datum features
- Connection between the theory and physical
- Constraining the 6 degrees of freedom
- Creating a complete datum reference frame
Product Plans
- Product definition drawing, manufacturing process plan, dimensional measurement plan
- Position tolerancing and verification
- Inspection and reporting of position tolerance RFS and at MMC
- Paper gage
Orientation Tolerances
- Parallelism tolerance
- Perpendicularity tolerance
- Angularity tolerance
- The hierarchy of tolerances: location, orientation, form
Practical Application of GD&T (Case study examples)
- Applying GD&T to blank drawings
- Selecting a datum reference frame and calculating tolerances
