True position is a geometric tolerance that quantifies the combined effect of deviations in two orthogonal axes, typically X and Y, from the nominal location of a feature.
The calculation uses the rootβsumβsquare method, which assumes the worstβcase scenario where the deviations act simultaneously and independently.
If the resulting trueβposition value is less than or equal to the specified tolerance at the Maximum Material Boundary (MMB), the part is considered acceptable.
