    3D Sketch - XYZ - Loft - Multiple shaped profiles

    I was asked to reverse engineer an old drawing for a Linear Shaped Charge (fractures jet canopies). In order to accomplish this, I created a 3D Sketch (using XYZ data).

    Validating CAD Models

    CAD ADMINISTRATORS How do you validate your company's CAD models. (Validate = e.g. fully constrained sketches, no mating errors, etc). I can't imagine you open every file (unless you work for a small company). Sometimes this question comes up in audits. Thank you.

    When you have a Dimension calling out MAX on a drawing (1.000 MAX), what keeps the machinist from giving you .800? Is there a standard for this callout? Thanks.

    Automate PDF's

    Are there methods available (3rd Party Applications, Macros) that would allow you to create 2 PDF's of the same drawing...One PDF that includes a "specified" watermark while the other PDF would be without the watermark (Clean Copy). Note: We do not use Enterprise PDM SW2014 Thanks. -Art

    What is the standard for Drill Points / Drill Point Angles? Is it required on the drawing per the current standard? I ask as the company I work for wants it shown on the drawing. (i.e pointing to the drill point via note and calling it out as a Drill Point Angle). thanks.
