Position tolerance

Position tolerance (symbol: ⌖ ) is a geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) location control used on engineering drawings to specify desired location, as well as allowed deviation to the position of a feature on a part. Position tolerance must only be applied to features of size, which requires that the feature have at least two opposable points.
