    Preventing file printing, saving changes to limit demo functionality

    The only thing that comes to mind right off, with out using Microsoft's Rights Protection is to simply use the work sheet protection built into Excel. Lock all of the cells in the work sheet except for those that you want the user to be able to edit. On your page set-up option on the file menu...

    Center method

    Very good example. Take note of the text towards the center of the page. "This means the four-hole pattern may shift out of position in one direction while the datum feature shifts in the other direction as shown. A very common error made at inspection is to use this allowed datum shift as a...

    Center method

    I assume that you are referring to applying material bonus to your datum(s). As your datum departs from MMC, or LMC, as the case may be, you get a zone in which your datum centerline may move. If your departure from MMC were 0.060mm, you would get a zone that is 0.060 wide in which your datum...

    All around radius callout

    I used to be a machinist. If you don't specify a Spherical Radius, you aren't going to get a spherical radius.

    Audit a column then copy data to another sheet

    Hey, with a couple of mods to make it specific to my spreadsheet, I think this just may work! I'll have to do a little bit of modification to my spreadsheet, but I think this is a winner. Thanks a lot!

    Audit a column then copy data to another sheet

In the lab that I work in, we use a spread sheet to report results of FAIs, the second to the last sheet...

    Do I double the result?

    If you are refering to simply doubling you deviation from nominal to obtain your TP, it works just fine. With a diametrical zone, one doubles the root of (x squared + y squared). so if your y is 0, then you are doubling the root of x squared. the root of x squared = x, so in essence, you are...

    Ordinate Dimensions to Define GDT datum structure?

    Hey Dave, I would have to agree with you, although I can not find anything in Y14.5M-1994 that backs it up. The datum is already established, the edge, you are now defining the "perfect offset" from the edge, -B-, to the FOS. Mark

    QA Info on Drawings

    I would have to agree with Heckler on the point of not putting the actual procedure on the print. I'm used to seeing Key/Critical Characteristic callouts often refering the person reading the print to procedure. If the test procedure is changed for whatever reason, you would have to change the...
