Multiple Identical Features

Uses a count plus X to apply one dimension or requirement to repeated identical features.

COUNT

The #X designator prevents redundant dimensions when the same requirement applies to multiple identical features.

The number before X is the quantity of repeated features covered by the dimension or callout.

Use it for repeated holes, chamfers, radii, surfaces, or pattern features.

Use continuous feature instead when separated surfaces are intended to be controlled as one combined feature.

Multiple Identical Features Drawing Use

Multiple Identical Features is read with the adjacent dimension, note, or feature control frame so inspection uses the intended feature definition.

DATUM

This modifier changes how a related dimension, note, or feature control frame is interpreted.

Read the symbol with the attached dimension, note, or feature control frame before evaluating the feature.

Verify the controlled feature using the drawing's stated limits, datum setup, and any special notes tied to the symbol.

A drawing includes the Multiple Identical Features symbol with a related feature requirement.

Identify

Recognize the Multiple Identical Features symbol and the feature it modifies.

Read

Adjacent value

Use the attached dimension, note, or frame cells as the controlling requirement.

Inspect

Per drawing

Measure the named feature using the specified interpretation rather than assuming a generic size check.

Multiple Identical Features clarifies how the feature is defined so the drawing and inspection method stay aligned.

Item	Controls	Typical Placement
Multiple Identical Features	Requirement interpretation	Next to a dimension, note, or frame
GD&T control	Geometric variation	Feature control frame
Datum reference	Measurement setup	Datum feature or frame cell

This page is part of the drawing-symbol reference set rather than a standalone geometric tolerance category.

When the symbol modifies a feature control frame, read it together with the tolerance value and datum references.
