22. Which is the correct definition of regardless of feature size?

23. What is "Rule 1" (i.e. the "Envelope Rule" or the "Perfect form at MMC Rule"), and what effect does it have, if any, on flatness? ...straightness? ...perpendicularity? ...position?

24. What is the difference between a Datum and a Datum Feature?

25. What is a Datum Reference Frame?

26. What is MMC Virtual Condition?

Refer to Figure 1 for the following questions:



quiz-fig1

27. What is the MMC size of one of the holes?

28. What is the MMC Virtual Condition size of one of the holes?

29. What is the LMC size of one of the holes?

30. How much total positional tolerance would be available for one hole if that hole was produced at a size of Ø.255?

Refer to Figure 2 for the following questions:



quiz-fig2

31. Datum feature "B" was manufactured at a related actual mating size (RAME) of 2.49. Datum feature "C" was manufactured at an RAME of 3.01. Now how much total positional tolerance does that one hole (relative to the other holes in the pattern) have? (The considered hole is still Ø.255.)

32. With the same actual datum feature sizes and considered hole size defined in the previous question, how much extra tolerance does the 4-hole pattern have relative to the "center of the part?" (Datum features "B" and "C" define the "Center" of the part.)
