    implementing/enforcing a different drawing standard

    You'll need training, yes. And you'll all need years of practice both reading and implementing proper geometric controls, creating proper DWG titles, creating formats, drawing standards for text, dims, notes, rev blocks, etc. - It's quite an undertaking to be adopting a standard - ISO or ASME...

    ASME Drawing View Standard

    I was going to say, just before I saw the bit from Y14.3, that shaded views could potentially improve one's ability to accurately interpret a drawing, but that in most cases it would be adding unnecessary detail which could actually be detrimental do the reader. The paper, or white background...

    The term ALL AROUND

    A chamfer indicated in a section view of a threaded hole, or similar feature, is understood to 'wrap' around the entirety of the feature. If that were Not the case, then clearly defining the extents of the chamfer would be necessary... Therefore, the lack of such definition indicates that the...

    Constant (Const) Notation on Drawing

    drawoh, 70% ±30% It's a hunch, but a fairly strong one to be sure... I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I HATE PLANTS!!

    Constant (Const) Notation on Drawing

    Hi OP, IMO - "Constant" is this individuals' way of indicating that the dimension should be a constant value, without variation (except as is allowable per the stated tolerances), throughout the entirety of the feature. This idea however, is already implied based on the basic rules of the ASME...

    Extract String at first comma BACK from pos 25?

    I need some additional help on this... This works for the most part, but there are a couple of additional conditions that I need to incorporate and if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. 1) The end of each line, whether it be two or three lines (but not one line - which rarely will...

    Evaluation of a +/- toleranced radius

    I suppose I think about this a bit differently than most... When I see the crescent shaped tolerance zone of a radius, I tend to think of it as more of a dimensional residuum, like a fractional remainder of sorts... Because the edge of the radius is tangent to two edges typically, the...

    Extract String at first comma BACK from pos 25?

    I think I figured it out... I tweaked some of the extract strings and changed the position or length values. It works! I may need to add a LEN4 as well as a DWGTITLE3 IF/THEN scenario but otherwise this works great! I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I...

    Extract String at first comma BACK from pos 25?

    Hey, so I just have one final question... If I wanted to ensure that the comma at the end of the line break was always included (e.g. BRACKET, CONVEYOR, <2ND LINE> PANEL,...) how would I go about doing that? Currently what happens is that the comma at the end of line 1 gets removed. I went...

    Extract String at first comma BACK from pos 25?

    Holy... Hey looslib, that's great!! Thank you for putting that down for me. I may need to tweak it here or there, but after initial testing it looks like that works! I owe you a beer. I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I HATE PLANTS!!

    Extract String at first comma BACK from pos 25?

    Hello gentlemen, I have a question about parsing strings so that I can properly format the DWG title in the new formats I'm working on. We use your typical ASME Y14.100 drawing title scheme: Text, Text, Text, Text, Text Our DWG titles are limited to 50 characters (legacy software of course)...

    Position of holes in a triangular pitch pattern on a circle

    Not to sound overly picky, but what's the purpose of the "140 FULL HOLES" note? I believe the diameter symbol along with the picorial representation of the part entirely defines those features. You could simply say "147X ֍.252-.256" and remove the portion about the "half-holes" as well. I'm not...

    How to disable drag handle in Creo Parametric

    Oh, okay - I thought you wanted to disable the draggers... You want to disable the ability to select a sketch entity in the edit feature mode and move it? I'll look into it. I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I HATE PLANTS!!

    How to disable drag handle in Creo Parametric

    In the config.pro, do a search for the option "DISPLAY_DRAGGERS" and set to NO. This will remove the dragger functionality in edit mode and only allow manual input of dimension values. I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I HATE PLANTS!!

    How to measure true postion

    @drawoh True position requires a feature of size, which roughly means, a feature with two opposing points. I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I HATE PLANTS!!

    Junior engineer lesson

    I work with "experts" in drafting who have been doing it their "entire career" and routinely place section views on the wrong side of the cut lines, don't include center lines, write "REF" and "TYP" next to all sorts of dims, place multiple 90° angles on sheet metal bends, and include notes like...

    Creo 4/5 GD&amp;T updates

    In Creo 4 you can use the old style datum feature symbol without much of an issue. The option is in the 'Datum Feature' tab in the ribbon, accessed after clicking on a placed datum feature symbol. Under the 'Display' section, there's a dropdown menu and a checkbox option for "Display per ASME...

    Creo 4/5 GD&amp;T updates

    The -A- style datum feature symbol changed back in the '82 version of the spec I believe. I don't believe it's MBD that's driving the update, it's the spec which has been updated to the triangular suction cup symbol ~30 years ago? I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian...

    Width variation of a feature

    Sounds like you might want to include a geometric control that uses two parallel planes as the tolerance zone? I'm not a vegetarian because I dislike meat... I'm a vegetarian because I HATE PLANTS!!

    What does this mean?

    I'm not fully familiar with the term "simultaneous requirement" but what I can say is that it looks like you're controlling the position of the holes to A+B, to .002, and further, are refining the perpendicularity of the holes to A to within .0005. That's probably not entirely correct, but it's...
