Measure.Length.Form.Parallelism

MeasureDimensional

Parallelism is a fairly common symbol that requires the referenced surface or line to be parallel to a datum surface or line. Parallelism can reference a 2D line, but more commonly it describes the orientation of one surface plane parallel to another datum plane.
