    Outsourcing Checking

    KENAT, Have you approached your company about hiring a recent grad? The grad doesn't need to be a graduate engineer. They will work at the lower end of the pay scale, learn from you, provide backup to you etc. Don't forget how you got your start in the working world. Perhaps it's time to give...

    Outsourcing Checking

    To do a thorough job and to your company standards it needs to be done in-house. Unless that's the problem and I'm not taking about costs$. I'm not trying to offend anyone but as the old saying goes "if you want it done right then you need to do it yourself". Maybe I stand alone on this. Brent...

    ASME Y14.5 For Inspection?

    drawoh, "Is there any reason this attitude should not be applied to inspection?" How about when one method rejects the part and another method accepts the same part? ---SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0---

    ASME Y14.5 For Inspection?

    Thanks for your input. It's been my experience that inspection methods of products are born out of relationships/conversations and agreements between the producer and the customer. But what if there is none or the customer is not able to provide direction? Is this statement "GD&T should be...

    ASME Y14.5 For Inspection?

    Hi All, Is there a standard for inspection of parts made to drawings produced using ASME Y14.5? Example. I produce the drawing but is my inspector working to a standard for checking the parts? Thanks, ---SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0---

    CSWP - Are you Certified?

    And naturally "...efficiency with the program." is a good thing. Unfortunately the current CSWP test doesn't go too deep. ---SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0---

    unilateral tolerancing

    Yes, as ajack1 as stated above this has been my experience too. So what did I do when the math data and the GD&T did not match? I inform the customer and he signs off to it. We still use/need the tolerance from the GD&T but apply it to the size(s) of the CAD model. In fact, to inspect the part...

    unilateral tolerancing

    To TheTick, I hate to burst your bubble but in my automotive experience "CAD is GOD" as the saying goes. For example, we receive the CAD (math data) and the GD&T(paper drawing) but the two don't jive. Changes have been made to the math data but often the drawing(s) are far behind. So... in this...

    Profile of a surface for dimensional tolerance

    Looks like typical drawing information for the automotive industry. You've gotta remember that it's only surface tolerance that they've given you. Any holes or fastener locations would have a different location tolerance. Also, you haven't supplied us with the complete drawing so I can't commit...

    CSWP - Are you Certified?

    Ha, ha... I can't see anyone getting a raise if they pass the CSWP exam. It just doesn't jive. Great for you if you do. Perhaps you could explain to us how you did it. ---SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0---

    Surface Profile with Basic Dimensions. Reporting GD&T on Part Layout

    DMRM (Mechanical), I couldn't open you attachedment. There was none but I'll reply. This was they way we did it. -produced mylar (10x full scale)with profile lines shown at nominal, max and min. (placed mylar on shadow graph)to compare actual part against -get your customer to approve your...

    CSWP - Are you Certified?

    My Opinion of the Online Test - If you knew only what was asked of you on the test then you really don't know much about SW. SW refer to the test as "CORE" but in reality it just scratches the surface. I do agree it has value. Great for you if you're are CSWP. ---SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0---

    CSWP - Are you Certified?

    JMirisola - Try that without BOOTS like I had too! eholmes - I agree with you. For me the test was all about speed modeling. Something that is less of a requirement than designing. ---SolidWorks 2008 SP3.0---

    ASME Y14.41-2003 & Adobe PDF....

    vc66 - I've come from your world and have the drawings to back that UP. I was schooled by an old school draftsmans/designer. It was tough going but I came out of it with what I consider high valued skills. Recently I spent some years working in the automotive industry where it was very rare...

    Display Name of Sketch Entity?

    "BARM, Did you have a specific use in mind for the entity names?" No. I just came across the info and wanted to know it's function or display methods. Thanks. ---SW 2008 SP1.1---

    Display Name of Sketch Entity?

    Additionally I agree with what you've stated but I work with students who I'm sure with ask me the same question. ---SW 2008 SP1.1---

    Display Name of Sketch Entity?

    Yes I do mean the entities. Since SW offers UP the info. I'm assuming it does for a reason. Also the info isn't even displayed in the properties manager for the line. Thanks. ---SW 2008 SP1.1---
