GDnT
GDnT
aggregates all geometric dimensioning and tolerancing data associated with a drawing. The model bundles feature control frames, datum definitions, modifiers, and contextual notes, giving you a holistic view of how form, fit, and function are controlled. It serves as the root structure that connects individual GD&T components so downstream software can analyze them together, determine compliance with standards, or simulate permissible variation. The object also stores metadata about detection confidence, standards referenced, and sheet locations, supporting auditability. Use this object when you need to extract the complete GD&T schema for digital twin analysis, inspection planning, process capability studies, or change management across drawing revisions.
