    Sketch on a plane

    Hi Guys, When i start a new sketch either on a part or existing part and i want to keep drawing, the sketch plane does not rotate normal to me. it simply disappears. I found that an option 'auto rotate in sketch plane' had to be highlighted but it doesnt matter. it still doesn't work. Also i...

    I see in my machinist handbook(21st ed) that 1/2-28UNEF class 2A major diameter is .4924-.4989. how did he get 0.497?

    "The major diameter of a 1/2-28 3A is .497-.500. For a class 2A fit the major diameter is .496-.499" how did you find this? i'm looking in the unified screw thread section

    if i use another chart i find a External max b major diameter of 0.4989. Still not 0.497. tolerance is 2A-allowance of 0.0011. This screw did fit up into an ID threaded ring. They are external threads so i think im in the right heading. Internal designation is for ID threading. comments...

    Jboggs, The major dia of a 1/2-28 UNEF is 0.500. we cut it to 0.497 however i don't see how we got that number. Why didn't we just cut it to 0.500? Is there a rule? thanks

    Jboggs, i find it to be 0.4768 which is the basic Pitch Diameter. I looked under table 3c. extra fine thread series. It is 23tho less than 0.5. We cut it to 0.497. he said it was tight but did fit. does that sound right?

    thread calculation

    Hello, In our shop we were cutting a small bar for it to be threaded into another threaded hole. I do not know the dimensions of the hole the threads fit into however we had to change the 1/2-28 to 0.497 -28. I'm not sure whether it was a UNC,UNF. Apprently it fits like a glove so its...

    Sketch on plane

    This will seem weird but wondering if anyone knows why or how to fix this. When i first started using soldiworks when i clicked 'sketch' and defined a plane, the plane would always rotate to the screen. It looked nice and such. After about a week on my new company labtop when i click on the...

    I understand but i don't think I want the pressure of being the highest payed new hire in the class. The Natinal manager said i was the most grommed tho. ya for me. Maybe i've actuall making the most money, and i don't know it. thanks macgver2000. The final salary is what matters.

    New job and lack of mentorship.

    Bottom line if you are not happy then you need to look elsewhere. I have been in a similar situation at my current workplace. I felt like i wasn't get relevent work experience but when i looked back it was exactly what i needed. It's a learning exerience and i made mistakes along the way. I...
