GD&T Angularity Symbol Guide

Angularity is a geometric dimensioning and tolerancing symbol that describes the orientation of one feature relative to another at a specified angle. It references the angle between two 2D elements or the orientation of a surface plane relative to a datum plane within a 3D tolerance zone. The tolerance does not directly control the angle but instead controls where the surface can lie based on the datum. Maximum material condition or axis control can also be specified for angularity but is very uncommon as gauging at an angle is difficult.

Description:
Angularity is the symbol that describes the specific orientation of one feature to another
at a referenced angle. It can reference a 2D line referenced to another 2D element, but
more commonly it relates the orientation of one surface plane relative to another datum
plane in a 3-Dimensional tolerance zone.  The tolerance does not directly control the
angle variation and should not be confused with an angular dimension tolerance
such as ± 5°.  In fact, the angle, for now, becomes a Basic Dimension, since it is
controlled by your geometric tolerance. The tolerance indirectly controls the angle by
controlling where the surface can lie based on the datum. See the tolerance zone below
for more details.

Maximum material condition or axis control can also be called out for angularity
although the use in design and fabrication is very uncommon since gauging a hole or
pin at an angle is difficult. When angularity is called out on an axis, the tolerance zone
now becomes a cylinder around the referenced axis at an angle to the datum. The page
on Perpendicularity goes into this type of reference in further detail since it is more
common with perpendicularity.
