    Difference between IT6 and H6 when applying to parts?

    Consider also if the tolerance of IT6 is per the "hole basis" or "shaft basis" as that also impacts the tolerancing. Cheers, hatsegal "Think first"

    Datum feature and its setup

    Ask to have the position tolerance cleaned up too. Cheers, hatsegal "Think first"

    Will White Paint Under Black Paint Reduce Temperature From Sunlight.

    IRstuff, You are focused on IR and may not be giving due attention to Visible Light (from which color is derived) as another important contributor to thermal radiation and radiation heat transfer. How an IR thermal sensor works does not correlate directly to how "radiation heat transfer" works...

    Will White Paint Under Black Paint Reduce Temperature From Sunlight.

    Teardrop, Is your question about the temperature during the process or at the final state? Color does have an impact on heat transfer rate by radiation via the "emissivity" factor (e) with Black being the most effective color (e =~1) and white being the least effective (e closer to 0). So, in...

    Options of form Tolerance

    As a student specializing in GD&T, it would be best to discuss these details with your instructor to "refine" your understanding of the concepts. There is another member on this forum with similar study-related questions seeking "plug-in" style answers. My suggestion above "applies equally and...

    Need balloon if there is only one item in BOM table?

    Siva M, You mentioned 1 part and 2 labels make up the assembly drawing. Curious... 1. Are the labels being attached to the part? 2. If so, is there a specific location on the part that they need to be placed? 3. If so, how is that location specified / noted? Cheers, hatsegal "Think first"

    Offset surfaces as Datum

    dthom0425, You mentioned that your application is "similar to Y14.5-2009 Fig 4-22." Y14.5-2009 Fig 4-22 has a note that specifies exactly how the tolerances apply (mounted and torqued on a true geometric counterpart). This note will certainly help with inspection and the "feeler gauge [or...

    Drawing type

    Pekkeri, Typically, companies have internal standards to dictate these details. What I've seen myself for sheet metal parts is a drawing showing the formed/bent part specifying the required final dims (with appropriate weld notes) and a flat-pattern view showing the developed flat before bending...

    Drawing type

    Pekkeri, Is your confusion of part vs. assembly because you are trying to account for the additional weld material? If the sheet metal part were instead bent and coated (paint or other) with no welds, how would you approach that -- a part drawing or assembly drawing? Cheers, hatsegal "Think...

    Controlling Bend Lines in a lofted surface...

    Only option i can think of is to Split the rectangle into 20 individual segments - use the split tool. Cheers, hatsegal "Think first"

    lofted cone

    Alternative procedure: 1. create both arcs on separate planes as you did before. No need for a 3D sketch joining the endpoints of the arcs 2. loft a surface between both arc profiles using the "surface loft" command 3. thicken the surface using "thicken" command on Features toolbar 4. Click...

    SolidWorks Appearances Help Please - Mapping and Folder Assistance

    See SolidWorks Help file for "creating custom appearance" You need to create custom appearance files for each of the textures you want. Edit an existing appearance and on the Color/Image tab of the Appearance Property Manager, browse to the folder where you have your JPEG image. Once the image...
