GD&T FCF Builder and Interpreter

Build, extract, and interpret feature control frames with deterministic checks. Optional AI explanations help you read the result.

Who it's for

  • Design engineers defining feature control frames
  • Quality engineers reviewing callouts before release
  • Manufacturing engineers validating interpretation consistency

What it solves

Manual FCF interpretation can change from one reviewer to the next, especially when callouts change under schedule pressure.

Validation basis: ASME Y14.5-2018 deterministic validation for supported FCF rules

How it works

  1. 01Build or paste structured FCF content.
  2. 02Import drawing images when you need extraction help.
  3. 03Run deterministic schema and rule checks.
  4. 04Review calculations and plain-language interpretation.
  5. 05Export artifacts for handoff and review.

Outputs and exports

  • Structured interpretation response
  • Deterministic tolerance calculations
  • PNG, SVG, PDF, and JSON exports where enabled by plan

Limitations and scope

  • Limited to the schema and rule coverage currently shipped in DatumPilot.
  • AI output is assistive and does not override deterministic validation.
  • You remain responsible for final drawing authority.

Accuracy and scope notice

DatumPilot provides engineering decision support. It is not a metrology certification body and does not replace professional engineering judgment, drawing authority, or required quality controls.
