DIMENSION is a geometric characteristic the size of which is specified such as length,angle,location,or center distance TOLERANCE on a dimension is the total permissible variation in its size, which is equal to the difference between the limits of size.

TOLERANCE SIZES
TYPE OF TOLERANCE
Deviations
The difference between the basic size and the maximum and minimum sizes are called the UPPER & LOWER deviations. The BASIC DIMENSION represents the theoretical exact size or location of a feature.
DEVIATIONS
BASIC (EXACT) DIMENSIONS Are shown in a rectangle to indicate that the tolerances in the general tolerance note do not apply
Datum
A DATUM is a theoretical exact feature from which dimensions may be taken. A DATUM is generally chosen as an edge or feature which has the greatest influence in a specific measurement.

Geometric Tolerance
A geometric tolerance is the maximum permissible variation of form, profile, orientation, location, and runout from that indicated or specified on a drawing. Feature control frame for an individual feature is divided into compartments containing, at the least, the geometric tolerance symbol and the geometric tolerance value

Form Tolerances
FORM TOLERANCES control the straightness, flatness, circularity and cylindricity Form tolerances apply to individual features and as such do not require locating dimensions. ORIENTATION TOLERANCES control angularity, parallelism, and perpendicularity
MMC (Maximum Material Condition) is when a feature or part is at the limit of size, which results in its containing the maximum amount of material. LMC (Least Material Conditon) refers to the size of a feature that results in the part containing the minimum amount of material. Thus it is the minimum limit of size for an external feature. RFS (Regardless of feature size) indicates that a geometric tolerance applies to any size of a feature that lies within its size tolerance.
3-plane system
The three planes constitue a datum system from which measurements can be taken. They will appear on the drawing. Datum feature symbol is used on the drawing to identify these surfaces
