Glossary Least material condition (LMC) The opposite of MMC, the least amount of material possible in the size of a feature within the stated limits. Limit dimensioning A system of dimensioning where the upper and lower limits of the tolerance are provided and there is no specified dimension given. Limits of dimension The largest and smallest possible boundary to which a feature can be made as related to the tolerance of the dimension. Glossary Limits of size The amount of variation in size and geometric form of a feature control. The boundary between maximum material condition (MMC) and least material condition (LMC). Local notes (specific notes) Notes connected to specific features on the views of the drawing. Location dimensions Dimensions that provide the relationship of features of an object. Glossary Locational fits (LC, LT, LN) Provide rigid or accurate location, as with interference fits, or provide some freedom of location, as with clearance fits. Maximum material condition (MMC) The condition of a part or feature when it contains the most amount of material within the stated limits. Glossary Mold A form made to pour or inject material to produce the desired shape. Neck The result of a machining operation that establishes a narrow groove on a cylindrical part or object. Nominal size A dimension used for general identification such as stock size or thread diameter. Glossary Nonrigid parts Parts that can have dimensional change due to thin wall characteristics. Notes A type of dimension that generally identify the size of a feature or features with written specifications that are more detailed than a numerical value. Parting line The separation between the mold or die components, and is a line on the drawing representing the mating surfaces between the mold or die components. Glossary Parting plane The mating surfaces of a die or mold. Patternmaker A person who makes a pattern for casting and forging applications. Plus-minus dimensioning A system of dimension
