OPEN PROFILE (LINE)

A profile is the outline of an object in a given plane. The tolerance zone established by the profile of a line tolerance is two dimensional extending along the length of the considered feature.

In this example each line element at any cross section must lie between 2 profile boundaries 0.6mm apart in relation to the datum plane A. Additionally the surface must be within any specified limits of size. The tolerance zone may be specified to be unilaterally disposed either inside or outside the true profile.
