On a simple bock with a hole or boss, I’ve seen three datum references ABC and a single positional tolerance. I understand the need for the xy placement tolerances of B and C relative to the two side planes, but not the top surface A.
Obviously a feature has to be on the surface referenced as...
After reading so much gd&t stuff, it has become apparent that no vendor is capable of accurately drilling a straight hole with a single diameter, what are commonly held tolerances to be applied to holes that are:
drilled
drilled and reamed
made with an endmill
Or is it only for pocketed...
Tubing Snap Fit
I wanted to make a plastic (Polyethylene, 0.09” thick) snap holder for some tubing (0.625”). It would be hand pressed on, and be allowed to be easily removed. The snaps would be similar to “C” shaped holders for ratchet tools or a Saddle foot chair glide on a tubular chair leg...
I'm making an angled air shoot tube that has a connecting square that fits into a square output tube. The top of the shoot angles down from the connecting square
What I have is essentially an 10" extruded "n" channel. Both sides of this "n" have a cut 2" from the connecting square end, forming...
I have a box with a boss in one corner (some distance from the wall), and I’d like to add two ribs (tangent to the outside of the boss OD, and each perpendicular to the inner wall of the box. I extruded the box and boss with a 1 degree taper.
My question is how to draw the sketch for the ribs...
I understand the difference between the position of a feature and its size. I would like to know why GD&T MMC (or LMC) is use for a hole and pin rather than just making the dimension of the hole and pin such that they will always fit if in tolerance.
I'm really not getting this "bonus" thing...
What are the general design considerations for blister packs:
Tolerance between male and female halves
Tolerance between male and female locks

What are the design considerations for blister pack Clamshell:
Relative dimensions for the hinge area and
distances from the two halves etc.

Good Day,
I try to write out processes that I tend to forget in SolidWorks. Some of which I just seem to keep having to mess with the parameters to get it right. For some reason, I’ve had issues with how to orientate the drawing for forming threads so that they start at the top of a tube etc...
I have built up a system in an assembly. It contains all discreet parts, all started from the assembly. These can be grouped (and for ease I have group them in folders in the assembly tree) as Outer Tank, Module, and Lid.
Two questions:
Can I make a subassembly with all the same links and...
Say I am building a box out of separate parts (not molded). I would have bottom, sides, and front and back. I would like to radius the sides of the finished box, but the parts files should remain non radiused. How is this done. Ideally too, I would like a subassembly of the fabricated box with...
