14 guides, one for each practice topic. Every worked example is computed by the same functions the workspace calls, and every guide links back into the calculator with its own numbers already loaded.
How true position is computed from X and Y deviations, why the answer is a diameter, and what regardless of feature size actually means on the shop floor.

Read the guideWhat the maximum material condition modifier grants, how the bonus is computed for holes and pins, and why the allowance is bounded by the size tolerance.
14 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideWhen to reach for the LMC modifier, how its departures reverse every direction learned at MMC, and why it is harder to gauge.
10 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideHow to compute the constant worst case boundary in all four directions, what the resultant condition adds, and why there is no virtual condition under RFS.
12 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideWhere datum shift comes from, how much of it a datum feature of size permits, and why adding it to the acceptance limit accepts parts a gauge would reject.

Read the guideHow a profile zone is disposed about true profile, the difference between the surface and line characteristics, and why profile can replace size, form, orientation and location at once.
12 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideFull indicator movement, the difference between circular and total runout, and why a runout number is a good requirement and a poor diagnostic.
10 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideWhat an orientation tolerance controls and what it deliberately leaves alone, how it refines a position tolerance, and how it limits form as a side effect.
10 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideWhy form controls take no datum, what each zone looks like, how much form the size tolerance already implies, and when an explicit callout earns its place.
10 practice questions on this topic.
Read the guideHow the two tiers of a composite frame differ, why the lower tier repeats only some datums, and what changes if the frame is split into two.
