Features
4.10.3 Parts With Cylindrical Datum Features
The datum of a cylindrical datum feature is the axis
of the datum feature simulator. This axis serves as the
origin for relationships defined by geometric tolerances.
See Figs. 4-8, 4-11, and 4-12. A primary cylindrical datum
feature is always associated with two theoretical planes
intersecting at right angles on the datum axis. Depending
on the number of planes established by higher precedence
datums, secondary and tertiary datum axes may
establish zero, one, or two theoretical planes.
4.10.3.1 Cylindrical Datum Feature. Figure 4-8 illustrates
a part having a cylindrical datum feature. Primary
datum feature K relates the part to the first datum plane.
Since secondary datum feature M is cylindrical, it is
associated with two theoretical planes, the second and
third in a three-plane relationship.

4.10.3.2 Datum Axis and Two Planes. The two theoretical
planes are represented on a drawing by center
lines crossing at right angles, as in Fig. 4-8, illustration
(a). The intersection of these planes coincides with the
datum axis. See Fig. 4-8, illustration (b). Once established,
the datum axis becomes the origin for related
dimensions.

4.10.3.3 Orientation of Two Planes.
The orientation
of the second and third planes of the
datum reference
frame in Fig. 4-8 is not specified, as
rotation of the
pattern of holes about the datum
axis has no effect on
the function of the part. In such
cases, only two datum
features are referenced in the feature
control frame:
(a) primary datum feature K, which
establishes a datum plane
(b) secondary datum feature M,
which establishes a
datum axis perpendicular to datum
plane K

4.19 Simultaneous Requirements
A simultaneous requirement is where two or more
geometric tolerances apply as a single pattern or part
requirement. A simultaneous requirement applies to
position and profile tolerances that are located by basic
dimensions, related to common datum features referenced
in the same order of precedence at the same
boundary conditions. In a simultaneous requirement
there is no translation or rotation between the datum
reference frames of the included geometric tolerances,
thus creating a single pattern. Figures 4-39 and 4-40 show
examples of simultaneous requirements. If such interrelationship
is not required, a notation such as SEP REQT is
placed adjacent to each applicable feature control frame.
See Figs. 4-41 and 7-54 and para. 7.5.4.2. This principle
does not apply to the lower segments of composite feature
control frames. See para. 7.5.4.2. If a simultaneous
requirement is desired for the lower segments of two or
more composite feature control frames, a notation such
as SIM REQT shall be placed adjacent to each applicable
lower segment of the feature control frames.
