    GDTP 2009

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

    GDTP 2009

    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?

    Broken diameter dimension

    Using the diameter dimension is fine.

    Dimensioning Set of Holes on From Flat to Angled Plane

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

    Dimensioning Set of Holes on From Flat to Angled Plane

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

    Dimensioning Set of Holes on From Flat to Angled Plane

    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?

    GDTP 2009

    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.

    GDTP 2009

    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...

    GDTP 2009

    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

    Adding straight lenght to entry port in Cabling

    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.

    Adding straight lenght to entry port in Cabling

    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...

    Adding straight lenght to entry port in Cabling

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

    Adding straight lenght to entry port in Cabling

    How about adding an extrusion on the end of the connector and putting the entry port on the end of that?

    Placing Datum Flags on Leader Lines / Attaching Datum Flags to FCFs - (WF5)

    Thank you, nsgoldberg. I would assume that the Pro/E designers didn't think to look through the standard for alternative methods. They only looked at page 43. This is probably the reason 2009 have a more in depth example section. Before you get to work on making your own symbols, check out...

    Placing Datum Flags on Leader Lines / Attaching Datum Flags to FCFs - (WF5)

    Number 1 is not possible unless you draw it in yourself. And it doesn't change with Creo 2.0. You are right to be frustrated. PTC is still using the Datum tag methods from the ASME Y14.5-1994 standard and didn't change anything when 2009 came around. They a few other symbols and but they...

    Simultaneous Requirements - Again

    Well you can't see the bolded in quotes can you? This is why you hit preview first... As for location of coordinate system, it can be anywhere - even on the Moon. The logic behind simultaneous requirements is that all features referencing to the same datum references, in the same order of...

    Simultaneous Requirements - Again

    Doesn't the bolded mean that there can only be one datum shift for both features?
