The lines used in the definition column of the tolerance zone represent the following meanings. Thick solid line or broken line: Form Thick dash-dotted line: Datum Thin solid line or broken line: Tolerance area Thin dotted line: center line Thin two-dot chain line: Supplementary projection plane or section Thick, two-dot chain line: projection of feature on supplemental projection plane or section |
