Hi all
I'm new to the Elsmar Cove; this is actually my first post. I realize the title of my thread doesn't really have much to do with MSA perse, but I was unsure which forum fit my question better.
I'm wondering what is meant when a datum (feature) is called a "6 way" or a "4 way" or even a "2 way" for that matter? I know it probably has something to do with restricting the 6 degrees of freedom of an object in 3D, but I'm not sure exactly how. I've read (ok, skimmed ) the ASME Y14.5M-1994 book on GD&T, but I don't see any reference there. I have also searched the internet for info, but to no avail. Can someone please provide a link, reference, or explanation to help elucidate my boggled mind? Thank you in advance, and thank God a site like this exists!
