BML, wall thickness isn't always directly related to structural integrity, in my line of business, it is for aesthetics as often as structure, and sometimes we only change it at a certain point for the part to release easier from the mold.
As far as drawing differences, there is only one...
BML, A drawing in that case serves the purpose of having a document for a QA inspector to reference to gauge part accuracy. Material thicknesses, for example, are not usually checked during production on injection molded parts, just first articles. So the print would stay the same if you changed...
The issue was a drafting question, with misinterpretation from Doc. Control (Config. Mgmt.). The question is related to how revision blocks of a drawing are affected by rules of doc. control, which should be a non-issue, since doc. control is supposed to follow standards set forth by ANSI for...
Thanks for the reply Leanne, but I think you are looking at this from a different angle than intended. The post was regarding revision block history of a print vs. a part, whereas I believe you are addressing a subject of having a drawing to begin with, which is not the case here. Either way...
Eric, thank you for your reply! All of our ECO approval records are in the form of 'electronic signatures' in our Doc Control system. So, say you wish to find all revision history for p/n xyz1... You do a query on that part in our software, and it returns all of the different revisions...
OK, I am having a debaucle with my Doc. Control person, and wanted to see if any experienced drafters or those familiar with ANSI could help me out. In our doc control system, a part number was released without a print under rev A. I created the print for rev B, and since the print didn't exist...
