This exercise was intended to show you the tools that AutoCAD provides for set-
ting up the most commonly used lateral and geometric tolerances when you use the
Tolerances tab in the Modify Dimension Style dialog box and the Tolerance button
on the Dimensions panel. My intention here isn't to explain the methodology of
geometric tolerances or the meanings of the various symbols, numbers, and letters
used in them. That is a subject beyond the scope of this topic.
