When a hole is on a round surface, and they share the centerline, there
is no dimension to locate it from side to side (the .000 dim). How is a
tolerance applied to the location of such a hole (without using a gd&t
position callout)?

No idea if this follows any sort of standard, but what about a note
saying "HOLE C/L MUST BE WITHIN +/-0.005" OF SHAFT C/L" or something
like that?

1. Remove the .000 dimension.

2. If you want the hole dimensioned with a tolerance, then, add a
dimension from the outside surface to the hole.

I have raised this question before internally also, there does not seem to be any experience with this from anybody I talk with. Personally I feel that like 90° angles, this sort of feature is "understood" to require the tightest standard "sheet" tolerance, i.e. .xx=±.03 / .xxx=±.015, the location would be ±.015.

Otherwise, if you need to control it beyond that, GTOLs would be the way to go as they are understood (sort of) by most everybody who would need to read the print.

Assuming the tolerance is +/-.005 for both the .333 dim & the diameter of
the shaft, the center of this hole is in a .010 square tolerance zone. .005
all four ways.

That puts 2 dims in the tolerance stack, the shaft dia. tolerance and
the positional tolerance of the hole to the edge.

Thank you for all your opinions!

I think, to avoid any possible confusion, the tolerance has to be on the
.000 dimension. (or of course to just use GD&T)

I do agree that the untoleranced, undimensioned feature could by default
go to the sheet tolerance, but think it would still be unclear whether
it be the tightest or loosest sheet tolerance.

I don't understand, why don't you just add a true position tolerance to
the hole diameter callout? Whenever a feature is placed on a centerline
it's referenced from there.

To be honest I have not come across such requirement so far. I feel
without giving GD&T, it is difficult to control.

I am not sure whether I am correct but my idea would be to give a
position tolerance for the lateral hole. See attached image. I think we
may have to add another tolerance to the hole - a runout with respect
axis of hole.

Thanks,
