These symbols shall be used in the characteristic section of the tolerance indicator, see GB/T 1182-2018, 8.2.

The nominal features, for which each symbol can be used, are given in Table 2.

Integral non-flat surface √
Derived non-flat surface √
For straight lines and planes, there are other characteristic symbols that directly provide the information about the shape of the toleranced feature, e.g. flatness for planes and straightness for straight lines. The profile characteristic symbols may be used for straight lines and planes. However, in this case, to determine the nominal shape of the toleranced feature, it is necessary to verify that there is no indication that the feature is nominally non-flat or non-straight on the drawing or in the CAD model, as applicable.
Note: A nominally planar surface and a nominally curved surface with a large radius may both appear as a straight line on the drawing and the profile characteristic symbols may be used for both types of surfaces. However, if the surface is non-planar, it should be marked in the drawing, or given by explicit or default TED in CAD model. For the planar surface, there will be no such indication on a drawing. On a drawing, it is this indication or absence of indication that is used to determine the nominal shape of the feature in this case. In a CAD model, the model data are used to determine the nominal shape of the feature.

5 Rules for profile tolerancing
5.1 General
For the basic rules for geometrical tolerancing, of which profile tolerancing is a part, see GB/T 1182.
When a drawing shall be used in conjunction with a CAD model, an unambiguous reference to the CAD model shall be made on the drawing and the CAD model shall comply with GB/T 24734.
According to the feature principle (see GB/T 4249-2018, 5.4), by default a profile specification applies to one complete single feature as defined in ISO 22432. It is the designer’s responsibility to select the features or parts of features to which a specification applies and either indicate that on a 2D drawing using appropriate symbology or define it in the CAD model.
According to the independency principle (see GB/T 4249-2018, 5.5), by default a profile specification that applies to more than one complete single feature as defined in ISO 22432, applies to those features independently. If it is desired that the profile specification applies to the features as if they were one, or with some constraint amongst the tolerance zones for the single features, it is the designer’s responsibility to either indicate this on a 2D drawing using appropriate symbology or define it in the CAD model.
The “all over” indication and the “all around” indication shall always be combined with UF, CZ or SZ, when used for geometrical tolerancing, to make it explicit whether the specification applies to a united feature, defines a combined zone or defines a set of separate zones, except when all the non-redundant degrees of freedom for all the tolerance zones are locked by reference to datums.
Notes:
1 The meaning of CZ and SZ is identical when the specification defines a set of tolerance zones for which all non-redundant degrees of freedom are locked by reference to datums.
2 In previous revisions of this standard, “all around” was used without any other indication. That made it ambiguous whether the specification applied to the features independently or the specification defined a combined zone. The requirement to always use UF, CZ or SZ is a failsafe indication.
5.2 Default rules for profile tolerancing
5.2.1 Rule A: Definition of the theoretically exact feature (TEF)
The theoretically exact feature (TEF) of the toleranced feature shall be defined with theoretically exact dimensions (TEDs) or be embedded in the CAD model. For a feature of size, the nominal shape of the TEF shall be defined, but the nominal size of the TEF may be undefined, see Figure 4b).
These TEDs may include:
——explicit TEDs;
——implicit TEDs;
——tables of values and interpolation algorithms;
——mathematical functions including splines and other formulae;
——reference to CAD model queries.
A TEF that appears to be a nominally straight line or a nominal plane on the drawing with no explicit indication to the contrary, shall be considered a nominally straight line or a nominal plane, respectively, defined by implicit TEDs.
The shape of a TEF that is nominally a circle, a cylinder, a sphere or a cone is implicitly defined.
The shape of a TEF that is nominally a torus is defined when the directrix size is defined by an explicit TED.
The size of a feature of size is undefined, and shall therefore be considered variable, unless it is defined by an explicit TED. The size of the generatrix of a torus is undefined, unless it is defined by an explicit TED. See rules F and G.
Note: The diameter of the median surface of the tolerance zone is fixed at the nominal size.
Figure 1 Surface profile specification for a sphere of defined nominal size, given by a TED
If the TEF of a feature is defined by a table with sets of coordinates, the interpolation algorithm for defining points between the given coordinates shall also be defined.
Notes:
1 There is no standardized way to indicate the interpolation algorithm.
2 A non-exhaustive list of interpolation algorithms includes:
——linear interpolation;
——cubic spline interpolation (with or without periodicity conditions);
——NURBS.
Example: The points are connected by straight lines.
When the TEF is embedded in the CAD model, it shall comply with GB/T 24734.
5.2.2 Rule B: Type of toleranced feature
The rules for indicating whether the toleranced feature is an integral feature or a derived feature are given in GB/T 1182-2018, clause 6.
When the characteristic symbol in the tolerance indicator is the surface profile symbol, the toleranced feature is an integral or derived surface.
When the characteristic symbol in the tolerance indicator is the line profile symbol, the toleranced feature is either
——the derived feature (see B.15 in Annex B);
——any line in the identified integral or derived surface, in a specified direction (see B.14); or
——one specified line in the identified integral or derived surface.
If the toleranced feature is one identified line in a surface, the location of this line shall be identified by TEDs.
If the toleranced feature is any line in the identified surface in a specified direction, then that direction shall be identified using an intersection plane indicator, see GB/T 1182-2018, clause 13.
