General tolerances to ISO 2768 — handling them correctly in the inspection plan
Almost every engineering drawing carries dimensions without an individual tolerance — and they are still not “tolerance-free”. What applies to them is the general tolerance from the title block, usually to ISO 2768. In the inspection plan these are exactly the dimensions that get handled badly: sometimes forgotten, sometimes carried without a tolerance. Both come back…
