GDnT
GDnT represents a single geometric dimensioning and tolerancing callout extracted from a drawing. The model bundles the controlled characteristic, the tolerance zone, feature modifiers, the reference element, material condition, state, and the datums referenced by the frame, giving you a holistic view of how form, fit, and function are controlled. It serves as the root structure that connects the individual GD&T components so downstream software can analyze them together, determine compliance with standards, or simulate permissible variation. The object also stores the raw label and a detection confidence, 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.
