I hope I am in the correct area. I did a few stp242 searches and found no results. For generic 3D CAD file outputs, step 203 and 214 are now part of step 242. Does anyone know what advantages were made (if any) on the CNC machining side? As a simple example say a 3D CAD feature is 40mm...

Thanks for the cool history and book suggestions. A few days ago I did buy the pdf version from Switzerland of the "ISO GPS Handbook." It is 378 pages and I am over 100 pages into it. Gets a little dry after a couple hours so I am breaking up the work day with it. I am going to read a bit on...

Not that it matters in 2016 but I wonder which came first? USA and GD&T (Lowell Foster) or GPS?

Couple of more question form the Original Poster... AMSE has Y14.5 and Y14.41. Does ISO have similar standards to Y14.41 for a Model Based Definition? We use SolidWorks for CAD design and Innovemetric's PolyWorks for part inspection. I assume software packages are ISO/GPS capable? I know...

First off thanks to all of you that took a few minutes from your busy day to respond to my post. I found good points in all of the comments. We will not recreating "any" old files/documentation. Over the years we have gone from paper, AutoCADD, Pro/E (1991), to SolidWorks (2004) and have...

Greetings, I work at a USA based company. Currently we are making parts/drawings with SolidWorks to ASME 2009, 3rd angle projection, in inches. I did pass the GD&T 1994 exam for Technologist Level. Like many companies many of our injection molds are made in China. We are also a 15 Billion...

We have 3 levels of designers at "my" company. At the end of the day promotions within these levels basically come down to people's ability to work independently. Obviously meetings, project briefs, updates have to happen. The team must be on the same sheet of music but at the same time, the...

Thanks for all of the great responses. We have been reading and discussing all of the ideas. For the gasket your "B" shape assumption is correct. Groove in the part I had shown. Gasket material, the other molded plastic part (not shown) protrudes into the gasket to get around 62% squeeze. I...

Thanks for the Friday afternoon responses. Our people here are fair with GDT, it really is the starting datums that are argued the most. ***Redrawing the part I see I simplified too much. The front surface (with LCD window) is a complex curve. It is not a nice flat.*** The meeting at work...

Seems like everytime we have a review of drawings there are many opinions of what the 3 "primary" datums should be. I am looking for some ideas from this group. I have attached a pdf of a single injection molded part. It will be inspected with a CMM touch probe. I have simplified the part...

Greetings, Just trying to decide if we need a $72 book. We have the Y14.5 (2009) and Y14.41 (2003) books. I am wondering if the Y14.8 (2009) Castings, forgings, and molded parts-- is of good use? Our company designs all injection molded and roto-molded plastic parts. No cast or forged...

Greetings, This is my first thread. I have followed the site off and on for years. I have my ASME Technologist Level Certification so I am fairly book smart but not always world smart. I understand the position callout, fixed fastener vs. floating. I understand the bonus tolerance as you...
