Retention and loading order
Retention holds a part against established references. Applying retention before seating can create a different final orientation.
This reference collection concerns light, offline dimensional-inspection layouts. It brings locating concepts, component descriptions and revision records together without substituting for an engineered fixture design. The drawings are original explanatory diagrams. Reference IDs identify documents, not commercially tested products. Read the scope and limitations alongside each example, and keep the actual part drawing and inspection requirements available when reviewing a proposed layout.
Practical example
Number the seating, contact confirmation, retention and removal steps on the same figure.
