    Limiting Hole to Hole Size Variation

    To replace the average with the value of one particular hole, call out that hole with the normal dimension i.e. DIA 10+/-0.2 (my personal preference would be the limit dimension). Make that hole datum G. Change the note to: 6 NOMINAL VALUE OF DIA N IS TO BE THE MEASURED VALUE OF DATUM G...

    Limiting Hole to Hole Size Variation

    Based on the OP's first paragraph my thought would be to call out the holes as follows: DIA N +/-0.05 SEE NOTE 6 note 6 would read: 6 NOMINAL VALUE OF DIA N MAY VARY FROM 9.85 TO 10.15 FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL PART PROVIDED THAT ALL HOLES ON ANY PARTICULAR PART MEASURE WITHIN +/-0.05 OF THE AVERAGE...

    Strange Notation on Fillet Radius

    Does the standard state what standard is used for drawing interpretation? ASME or ISO and what year? The datum symbol shown is to an old standard. As a guess, I am thinking that the dimensions you are questioning are limit dimensions and the the radii range from 0.50 to 2.25 and from 0.25 to...

    Working from home

    I had to go into the office to restart my desktop so I could get into it from my laptop. That was as of last week. This week we have been told not to go in without 24 hours notice. But the connection has improved. The last two days I have even not had to call the help desk. Which is a great...

    Working from home

    Took two hours for T-Mobile to help me out yesterday. Working at home is slow due to network speed on my end as well as not having the best laptop for the job. Had to drive to the office to restart my computer after lunch, some problem with my login after shutting down for lunch. Hope it does...

    Working from home

    One of the jobs I interviewed with while looking for my current position would have involved working from home. My plan was if I got that job was to travel the country working from wherever I parked the RV. Peter Stockhausen Designer / Checker

    Working from home

    I got the word today to ask for a token to be able to work remotely. I am not sure how well it will work logging into my computer at work using my not the best personal laptop. I suspect that many things will be a good deal slower. Somethings may be the same. I have done work from home using a...

    Methods for Dimensioning a Simple Plate with Holes

    What I would do is set the holes as datum B with the true position relative to A and B at max material. I would control the edges with a surface profile to A and B at max material. See the example attached. Peter Stockhausen Senior Design Analyst (Checker)...

    Overcoming Time Obstacles for ECN's

    Kenat, yes PDM is not free. But the best PDM for a particular software is the one that is made for it. An access database is a good alternative for a small company should if that can not be used. The OP indicates they have PDMWorks for Solidworks. I would suggest they use that for the drawings...

    ASME Y14.2 dimension and text height

    I would agree that the .156 text hight is better for reduced size printing. As most prints are done at a reduced size, I would not have a problem with the larger text height. I would suggest that your company standards state the standard text fonts and heights for your drawings. Peter...

    Is having a criminal history an issue?

    On a previous job, one guy was walked out after a couple of days because he "forgot" to mention his armed robbery conviction. A bit more serious than the OPs conviction, but he may have had a chance to get the job, and keep it, if he had been honest in his application. The history is an issue...

    Meaning of this symbol

    One more person who has never seen that symbol. If the symbol is on a customer's or vendor's print, you should ask what it means. Peter Stockhausen Senior Design Analyst (Checker) Infotech Aerospace Services www.infotechpr.net http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=30064526&trk=tab_pro

    angle and its true position

    Position tolerance should be applied to the slot width and length, not a locating angle. If your "slot" has a angular dimension, I think a profile tolerance may be better, please post a sketch. Peter Stockhausen Senior Design Analyst (Checker) Infotech Aerospace Services www.infotechpr.net...

    Datum with flatness and position tolerance specified?

    I think the intent is to show a bilateral profile tolerance. As the flatness and the "profile" tolerance are the same I think the .045 and .090 dimensions are redundant. Peter Stockhausen Senior Design Analyst (Checker) Infotech Aerospace Services www.infotechpr.net...
