Use and effect of MCMs
Material Condition Modifier (MCM) MMC/LMC/RFS are used to
define the treatment of size deviations
MCM expand the tolerance zone depending on the considered
feature and they mobilize the tolerance zone depending on the
datum features
MCM for the considered feature
M: expands the tolerance zone
S: size does not influence the tolerance zone
L: expands the tolerance zone
MCM for datum features
M: gives mobility to the tolerance zone
S: means static tolerance zone
L: gives mobility to the tolerance zone
Mobility of the tolerance zone reduces the actual deviation

General rules for the handling of DRFs
GD&T takes fit and function of the imperfect objects into
consideration
Datum reference frames (DRFs) are simulated by perfect
Lngenmessabweichung E
inverse datum features with nominal orientation
DRFs eliminate up to three degrees of rotational- and three
degrees of translational degrees of freedom
The order of the datum features in the feature control frame
specifies the order of adaption to the work piece
If a datum feature can and may eliminate a degree of freedom, it
must
Datum features with size shall be fixed at virtual material
condition or if specified regardless of features size consume all
the space available in- or outside
