Subtracting material for powder coating
Subtracting material for powder coating
(OP)
This may sound like a novice question. I have a part that's going to be machined and then powder coated. Which SolidWorks tool do I use to subtract material (approx. .003in.) to make up for the powder coating so that the finished product will be close to the desired size?
I've used the "Insert > Face > Move.." Is this the best tool for this? Thanks.

Just to be clear, I'm creating a part (and drawing) for a part that's going to slightly shrunken so that it will fit once it is powder coated. This is the first time I've done this so I'd appreciate any advice.

The replies seem to confirm that I have indeed used the right tool.
