Modern approach to documentation in manufacturing
Discover how to add Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and other manufacturing information to your 3D model. In this learning series, you will also learn how to perform tolerance analysis to derive cost impacts of dimensional variation. Lastly, this learning series will cover report metrics for statistical results and generate reports to communicate analysis results and cost-control efforts to manufacturing and quality engineers.

You can expect to spend approximately 2 hours completing this. We also encourage you to apply what you learned by completing the exercises throughout.
After completing this content series, you will be able to:
- Create general annotations.
- Analyze tolerance features.
- Utilize the datum reference frame.
- Use the tolerance advisor.
- Share your annotated files.
