AUTOMATED DRAFTING SOLUTIONS' GD&T Fonts
-How They Work-
General Overview
AUTOMATED DRAFTING SOLUTIONS' GD&T Fonts have been conceived to help get the best ANSI Symbology and avoid mistakes common with regular fonts. Here are some of the main characteristics:
1. Constructs a wide variety of ANSI and Engineering detailing notation.
2. Exaggerated distinction between similar characters to avoid misreading and confusion.
3. Heavy emphasis on engineering symbols.These GD&T Fonts are so easy to use.You will be amazed at the wide variety of ANSI GD&T and Dimensions that you can construct with these fonts.
What are GD&T Fonts?
GD&T Fonts are actually a set of fonts containing an outline TrueType FONT, for a perfect rendition on the printer at all sizes, and bitmap screen fonts, which considerably improve legibility and rendition at small point sizes on your screen.
AUTOMATED DRAFTING SOLUTIONS' GD&T Fonts are a collection of 3 different FONT SETS that you can install in your Window and MAC applications to construct everything from a SIMPLE FEATURE CONTROL FRAME to a COMPLEX DIMENSION. Since they are TrueType Fonts, you can use them in all your Windows and MAC applications like WORD, WordPerfect, AUTOCAD, MICROSTATION, COREL DRAW, EXCEL and so on.
With AUTOMATED DRAFTING SOLUTIONS' GD&T Fonts detailing is neat and precise, and there is no confusion between similar characters. Emphasized ANSI symbols make it easy to check for possible errors, and avoid them.
GD&T Font #1 has all the symbology necessary to construct ANSI Y14.5M Single Feature Control Frames such as these:
GD&T Font #2 contains all the symbology of Font #1, plus it has UNBARRED alpha and numeric characters. It also has several ANSI and common drafting symbols. You can construct the following types of GD&T SYMBOLS with this FONT........
GD&T Font #3 a 5 font FONT set. It contains all the symbology contained in Fonts #1 and #2, plus it will construct STACKED Feature Control Frames, Feature Control Frames with stacked Datum, complex dimensions and stacked fractions.
‘Datums’ It contains all the symbology to construct STACKED Feature Control Frames with datums attached.
‘Composites’ It contains all the symbology to construct STACKED Feature Control Frames.
‘Dimensions’ It contains all the symbology to construct complex ANSI Dimensions.
