    Cpk on Max/Min & Ave data

    Hi Guys, I have some inspection data from a supplier. They have given me a summary of measurment data for each month: For each critical dimension. Max Ave Min Qty (inspected) (No std deviation) -- no individual data measurments). I have 12 months datasets. Can I use this to calculate a Cpk...

    Sourcing Cadence SiP

    Hi All, I've been asked to cost Cadence SiP for my department. Added to which I am not familier with this software and how it is sold. So I want to do some home work. Is it only available from a limited number of distributors? (i.e. one per country). Regards J.

    Automate Export & some commands

    Cp/Cpk & Flatness Tolerances

    Hi Dave, Kenat Thank you for your replies. I have converted the –ve values to absolute values. And have calculated a Cp = 1.47 For the sake argument I have used a “nominal” of 0.00075” and put it into statistica...see what you think. (I hope this upload works :) J...

    Cp/Cpk & Flatness Tolerances

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies! But Erm aren't you contradicting each other? My supplier did the measurements on 50 parts using a smartscope. I have one measured flatness value per part. i.e. 50 results. Some values are negative – indicating concave Some are positive – indicating convex The...

    Cp/Cpk & Flatness Tolerances

    Hi Guys I have a general flatness tolerance on a drawing of 0.0015”. And some inspection data from a supplier. I want to determine if their process is capable. So I’ve put their data into a spreadsheet to calculate Cp/Cpk. My question (which is probably stupid – but if in doubt ask) I...

    2001 to Wildfire Migration?

    I've just changed over to wildfire 2.0 from 2001 at the begining of February. In many ways it's frustrating...just manipulating the model with new "mouse & Keyboard" combos irritates the hell out of me...it was unthinking automatic movement, in W2 it had be re-learnt. Also the new interface...

    Slow data!

    Hi Guys, I have (from a customer) some pro/e assembly files that are really slow. (when opening, manipulating etc..). I think that just a couple of parts are the culprits. Their first features have been created using copy_geom and or external_copy (from parts outside of the assemblies sent to...

    ad -- A "Driven" dimension that will not be created!!

    Hi onlyadrafter, Yes - spot on! My understanding is: that you can only insert datums into type "d" and "ad" dimensions. (I've never used type "dd") All the dimensions that I (currently) create in the drawing are type "add". Now, for some reason when I change the config.pro settings (see my...

    ad -- A "Driven" dimension that will not be created!!

    "d" "ad" "dd" "add" all refer to the type of dimension. If you select INFO, SWITCH DIMS (when you have dimensions on display) you will see the numbers replaced by symbols...eg "d613" or "ad613". Now you can overwrite (@O) "add" & "ad" dimensions, which are created in the drawing, but not "d"...

    ad -- A "Driven" dimension that will not be created!!

    Hi Guys, I'm trying to set my config.pro (sorry "options" ;-)) so i can create "ad" or "Driven" (sometimes called "created") dimensions. This is in 2001. I have tried setting "create_drawing_dims_only" and "draw_models_read_only" to values of "no" in options. And the drawing setup (.dtl file)...

    MEng vs the standard 4 yr BS/BE/BTech

    Hi Sayeeprasadr, The important thing you must establish is:- a) That an Engineering Institute accredits the Course. (Not all courses are Accredited – A single University Department can have both accredited and non-accredited Engineering courses) b) Which Institute it is – Ask the University...
