    Thanks to all that replied. It turns out I was not given all the information. I only recieved the drawing not the specification sheet with the tolerance block.

    undimensioned tolerance

    I have a drawing that states the following : Interpret drawing per ASMY14.100-200, dimensions and tolerances per ASME Y14.5M. In the drawing all the dimensions in the drawing are untoleranced. Do I interpret these as basic dimensions?

    inertial initiator , acceleration problem

    you are correct the damping would only need to be in the axial direction of the initiator although the 2000g shock can occur in any axis. i didn't even think of heating of a spring if used as a damper when enviromental test are done.

    inertial initiator , acceleration problem

    We have thought that we may need some type of damping system, but space wise we are constrained. This entire initiator assym. must fit in a .75" diam x .75" tall cylinder. The initiator will activate a chemical process via pyrotechnics in the a joining volume. This chemical process (600 C to...

    Pro-e 2000i2 won't run on XP pro

    I have had no problems with running 2000i2 on my XP pro machine. Also no problems with using an OEM branded 64mb ATI Radeon video card with dual monitor outputs on this machine. Dual monitors are nice when converting legacy autocad drawings to 3d models and not having to switch back and forth or...
