This document defines geometric symbols used for tolerancing and describes their characteristics. It explains that flatness controls the shape of size and non-size features, straightness uses a datum reference to control form, and circularity controls the roundness of features without a datum reference. Position locates centers, axes, and planes for size features and can also control orientation.
