tec-ease.com GDT tips
(OP)
If the MODs want to close or delete this thread I understand since its not a direct discussion of GD&T etc.
What I’m posting this for is to ask the community to consider sending tec-ease.com a polite email asking them to reverse their new policy requiring premium membership. Personally, I have no problem with their decision if that’s what they really want to do but I don’t see myself paying for a premium membership just to access GDT tips during the moment when I need to reference them. I think in the long run it will hurt their interests because new students and professionals will just move on to a local premium resource in their area, whereas they would otherwise remember a well used free resource for continuing training and recommendation’s to their employers training programs. There are lots of business models for companies to decide upon, but that’s just my opinion... its been a steady bookmark in my browser for years. I think it might make a difference if the community took a simple moment to send them an email, with so many links referenced in this forum it’s my impression it’s one of the most used free resources. Its been a valuable resource for me over the years, sad to see it go otherwise.
Dear Tec-ease.com
I am writing to ask you reverse your premium membership requirement for your GD&T tips. Your tips have been a valuable resource over the years. The free GDT tips were a huge resource for students and upcoming professionals that will remember where the tips came from when they decide to invest in further training and education.
Best Regards,

Dear Tec-ease.com
So long and thanks for all the fish.
RE: tec-ease.com GDT tips
I believe one of the regular contributors here is a tec ease guy or some how related.
I wonder if that means he'll no longer be posting here for free only for premium members.

The main source is the Y14.5M-1994 standard.
The body of knowledge upon which the GDTP examination is based can be found in ASME Y14.5.2-2000, or for free in the brochure under this link:

If you are considering paid online sources, check out Drafting Zone (no, I don't work there
You can get 1 year access to all their materials and take practice exams.
Definitely costs less than tec-ease. Unfortunately, as I mentioned several times, the place is pretty much pre-2009.

Well, it's already $185 everywhere, but Tec-ease wants $195 for it. I think there is a word for that.

It's just hard to believe, that current demand for GD&T training is so high, one can charge arm and leg for it.
When forced to do comparison shopping, people may actually go elsewhere.
It would be sad to lose yet another place to look for ideas.
