    Weld Callout Leader Direction

    It would certainly be difficult to inspect! My intention when considering it is to communicate more plainly (even subconsciously) with the welders, and possibly catch an inaccessible weld I might otherwise miss. My CWI pointed me to A2.4; our copy is 2007. Turns out a callout leader with a jog...

    Weld Callout Leader Direction

    Hi folks, First off, please let me know if I'm in the wrong pond with this question; I've been searching around and it seems I can't find the right search terms to find a question I'm sure has already been answered... I do a lot of weldment drawings for my fab shop. We build heavy lifting...

    Bolt Circles - Relative Clocking

    Thanks for your input folks. As much as I try to allow all the tolerance I can, I think drawoh hit the nail on the head - It's a machine shop. They won't have any trouble hitting a .010 tolerance zone. Get the control you need and move on. My first thought was also Composite Control Frames, but...

    Bolt Circles - Relative Clocking

    3DDave: That is exactly what I should have been thinking about! (Or maybe I was thinking about without realizing it) But without a clocking datum, I'm kind of dead in the water, no? Does this lead to making one of the patterns a datum?

    Bolt Circles - Relative Clocking

    Hi folks, I've done some digging around here and found a couple threads sort of relate to this, but I haven't found a solid answer. If you know of one I missed, please point me there. The basic question: How can I go about controlling the relative clocking of two circular patterns loosely while...

    Excel Formatting Spill-over

    Thanks folks, Barring any new revelations, I think that just about covers it. Excel is being excel, and there is no simple way to change that. Stick - I do appreciate your point about formatting storing data. I hadn't considered it that way before, but I see exactly what you mean (especially in...

    Excel Formatting Spill-over

    Hi folks, I'm working on a large-scale revision of a special project based on customer/structural comments. I have a spreadsheet to track what tasks are completed. First column is drawing number, subsequent columns are comments on each particular drawing. This leaves one task per cell...

    Details of Revision Symbol Placement in regards to a Title Block - ASME Y14

    Good replies; thanks,everyone! I could have sworn I read somewhere that revision symbols should not go in the title block, but it looks like I must have dreamed it. Might have been in someone else's internal drafting standard while trolling the internet for answers one day. Thanks again, Matt

    Details of Revision Symbol Placement in regards to a Title Block - ASME Y14

    Hi folks, I have been digging around in the forum and on google, but I haven't found a definitive answer to this question. I figure if I had this much trouble finding an answer, it might be worth getting this discussion going. Is there somewhere in Y14 (likely in .35?) that forbids the...

    ASTM A320 Dimensions/Thread Length

    Well I don't know how I didn't see that one! Thanks for the good answer.

    ASTM A320 Dimensions/Thread Length

    Hi folks, I have been reading and re-reading my copy of A320 looking for references that would control thread length. Does anyone know where I should be looking? The specifics of my situation are that I have a design drawing that specifies A320 grade L7, 1-3/4" x 5" long. I am producing...

    Representation of Datum in Alternate View

    Aha! Now we're cooking with gasoline! Thanks, pmarc. I knew it if I stopped thinking about it.

    Representation of Datum in Alternate View

    There is a basic relationship between the 4.625 and 3.750 holes, you just couldn't see it! [bigsmile] And, yes - the incorrect duplicate reference to B has been removed. You touched on something there that I have been working to understand recently: What does calling true position on a hole...

    Representation of Datum in Alternate View

    Chez, My apologies, I tried changing the file name and re-uploading, but I can't seem to find a way to remove the original attachment. Thanks for your reply. I find myself adding a lot more than I need on most of my drawings because some checkers at the customer seem to be unfamiliar. Not to...

    Representation of Datum in Alternate View

    So, after finding this thread (thread1103-424578), it sounds like it would be improper to attach a datum feature symbol to a center line. I have replaced that symbol with a note that reads "DATUM CENTER PLANE B"

    Representation of Datum in Alternate View

    Hi folks, I have been digging around for a definitive answer on this. I haven't seen much in Y14.5-2009 (although our drawings don't state any standard, but that's another conversation). I have seen some other people bring this up here and other places, but the conversation seems to get...
