The chief drawback of chain dimensioning is that

  • A.each dimension must be repeated on every view
  • B.no dimension can be given to a hole centre
  • C.the overall length cannot be shown at all
  • D.tolerances accumulate along the chain

Answer: D

Correct answer: tolerances accumulate along the chain

Each dimension in a chain carries its own tolerance, and the position of the last feature is the sum of them all, so the uncertainty grows with the number of links. Four dimensions at plus or minus 0.2 mm give plus or minus 0.8 mm at the far end. Datum dimensioning avoids this by measuring every feature from the same reference.
