GeoTol Pro 2009 Workbook (eBook, ASME Y14.5-2009)

Description

The GeoTol Pro 2009 Fundamentals Workbook (eBook) is a streamlined, full-color learning resource designed to help users confidently understand and apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Aligned with the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard, this workbook supports the GeoTol Pro 2009 Online Program, DVD series, and PowerPoint course—but is also effective as a stand-alone reference.

With 380 pages of illustrations, examples, and guided exercises, it walks learners from basic GD&T concepts to more advanced topics like tolerance boundaries and simple stack-ups. Clear visuals, practical explanations, and chapter-end review questions make it an ideal tool for both individual study and team-based training.

Features

380 pages of full-color graphics to clarify datums, tolerance zones, and application examples
Aligned with ASME Y14.5-2009, with notes comparing earlier ASME and relevant ISO standards
17 structured units that progress from fundamentals to intermediate GD&T concepts
Hands-on exercises throughout each chapter for immediate skill reinforcement
Easy-to-navigate layout with symbol tables, summaries, and a comprehensive index
Compatible with GeoTol training materials, including the online course, PowerPoint, DVD series, and model sets
