This is amazing; before I go buy a bottle to experiment with, what is the visible reaction that I should expect in such a case? [thumbsup2]

I have done that as well, but not ideal. [sadeyes]

The reason is so people like me, when opening a drawing for the first time and having no idea of the revision history... are left to wonder if there is something important associated to that bubble with a letter in it. On an associated note: unless it has improved in the last few...

Nothing to add other than these pieces are almost certainly molded, possibly CFRP.

You're not wrong... [yinyang]

Since you are already relying on CAD model, just omit any 'points' along the path and force them to choose. If they ask which points they need to measure to know if the part is acceptable, then fire them. "Which dimensions are critical to meet specification? [ponder]" "All of them" [flame]

I lean towards the "useful" in the sense that it beats into the [idiot] reader's head that partial threads don't do me any good but you are fine to have as many as you'd like past where there are full threads. Generally, though, I find I'd care to use a note like that where I know the hole depth...

Thanks for the lead Scott, would not have thought to use the word 'nesting' to describe the activity.

This is less of a Solidworks question and more of a general solid modelling question. If you have a model with a known but irregularly shaped volume, are there any utilities that can create a best fit volume packing of another known shape? Preferably with some other constraints such as "always...

Now who is living in fantasy? [yinyang]

I thought it was indicating that it was acceptable to be machined in either full light or full dark. [ponder]

If you can call it 'programming' to do very basic SQL queries (I mean very basic) I use it frequently to bypass the actual front end GUIs of different software to get the data I care about that is replicated and stored in databases. You can save many many minutes this way. Examples: historic...

Steel just getting old, right?

...that's not always the solution.

Well unless this is an anticipated periodic failure (which if it were, they would have said as much) then it's still a failure of their "maintenance" program. [ponder]

Surely the demographics from 1960 are still adequate? [thumbsup2]

Fury 325 broke [pun intended] some internal records for B&M so perhaps they did not revisit the design limitations for the joints that they have in their "tool box" when piecing it together. [ponder]

How would the 'scale' for the offset be determined if it worked how you want? If you can describe it, can you not create an equation for the planes offset dimensions? Perhaps I do not understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Your example is showing the same calculation result that the OP is saying is erroneous. i.e. why is the inverse tangent of 0.03125rad returning 0.03 and not 1.79 degrees?
