Thanks for the advice. I was a bit curious about breaks/lunch. Looks like a big breakfast is in order.

How was lunch handled? Did you bring your own, do you go to another room, did they inspect your sandwich?

Andrew, I also signed up for the test next month. Anything stand out to you? Any areas or topics that you feel need to be focused on?

Using the diameter dimension is fine.

Shop might make a fixture that would simulate the angled surfaces and then pin hole #1 if that was the datum.

Check out Fig 7-36 "Nonparallel Holes Including Those not Normal to Surface" in ASME Y14.5-2009

Do you plan on locating and orienting hole #1 to datums? Do you want hole #3 located and oriented to the datums that located and oriented hole #1 or do you want a new datum structure based off of hole #1?

After further inspection, that topic list in the appendix of y14.5.2 is the table of contents for y14.5 minus the nonmandatory appendices expect B.

My work has a IHS license where I can download everything y14. Y14.5.2 is often said to be a waste of money. I don't believe you need it, but it might be nice to have because it has the individual topics from the standard that it expects you to know for the test. But that stuff can often be...

Some interesting parts from Y14.5.2 after a quick skim over: "2.2.3 Equivalencies. Note that ASME Y14.5-2009 is not equivalent to ASME Y14.5M-1994. Successfully passing the ASME Y14.5-2009 examination does not confer certification to ASME Y14.5M-1994. Successfully passing the ASME Y14.5M-1994...

I also found that Y14.5.2 has been updated as well. Looks like it is ready. Anyone other than 3DDave thinking about taking this?

Am I hallucinating or is the test for the 2009 standard available? GDTP (Y14.5) - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional Certification

I was kinda in the same boat and took the lead on learning Cabling. I had the project pay for the training that PTC offers and that helped a bit. Most of the time I was learning the hard way.

That is the method I recommend. Cable Assembly -Shrinkwrap -Connector 1 -Connector 2 -Harness Make Shrinkwrap default constraint, constrain connectors to Shrinkwrap, designate connectors and their entry ports, route cable from connector 1 to connector 2, route cable and place locations on...

Are the connectors separate parts from the External Shrinkwrap in the assembly?
