    Location of a hole pattern

    Just wrong, gotcha :) Thanks!

    Location of a hole pattern

    Kenat, ewh, I modified the view, going by 5.9.1 section of gd&t and section on Repetitive patterns on http://www.tec-ease.com/tips/march-01.htm UUsing appropriate datums for H and V instead of V/H arrows seems clearer to me, but I guess standard is standard and it will have to do...

    Location of a hole pattern

    ewh, Is the "4X INDIVIDUALLY" note clear to you too? We have not used that note before (you could say we're still transitioning from gm standards), but I found it in the asme book some time ago and I think it applies here. Before we would create detail view of one of the hole patterns, and say...

    Location of a hole pattern

    Yes, we're using asme standard. Datum A-B is horizontal (2mm tolerance), E is vertical (4mm tolerance). Isn't that enough to give it the directionality in top view?

    Location of a hole pattern

    I have a pattern of 4 holes, which in turn exists in 4 places of a frame. Engineer wants to give it a location tolerance of 4mm in X axis, 2mm in Y axis, and wants to tie each of the 4 holes to each other with a tolerance of 0.6mm. I came up with top option, which in my opinion is better, but...

    Position frame placement

    Yes, our prints are very process oriented. Your idea to constrain cast surfaces to machined features really blew my mind. Real eye opener. Not sure if I'm going to be able to push a drawing like that through our checking dep, but thank you anyway. I changed the perpendicularity call out. Thank...

    Position frame placement

    Oh, it's an export locomotive. The units are millimeters. Eight inch tolerance would definitely be a bit too much :) Thanks, Wojciech

    Position frame placement

    Please see the attached file. I'm making a print with gd&t that supposed to be based on older drawing (3 top views). In my opinion though the bottom view shows the way it should be dimensioned correctly (gdt frame placement). Would you agree with me, or would you say that top views are...
