Wanting to Learn GD&T
Wanting to Learn GD&T
(OP)
A cousin of mine has expressed an interest about drafting and GD&T. I have suggested that he checks out GD&T training from Tec-Ease, Inc.. I graduated in M.E. back in the '60's and drafting was one requirement in the curriculum but GD&T had not yet evolved. Personally I get interested and learn some aspects of GD&T from Tec Ease monthly tips eventhough I am not proficient at it which does not affect my ACAD drafting since I do Civil drafting.
I would like to know how you, the responders, view Tec Ease as a training tool or would it be better for young people to enroll in a drafting program from accredited institutions.

That said, I am doubtful that a drafting class would cover GD&T in the depth desirable for proper useage.

RE: Wanting to Learn GD&T
I believe the local 2-year tech school has some classes on drafting. I'd have to look again at the description and see if they are actual drafting classes of if they are "CAD jockey" classes. However, I believe they offer a 2-year program on drafting, and I suspect that would cover more about drafting than I learned in my engineering courses.

Tec-Ease is good, as are any other companies that have been around for a while -- they can't stay in business unless each of the companies know their stuff and deliver it well.
