    CREATING A SPECIFIC FINISH NOTE for a -1 & -2

    Thank you for the replies. Attached is the drawing for more clarification. The only difference between the -1 and -2 are the finish steps and that is due to the fact that threaded inserts were added to create the -1. The -2 is the base part of the -1 assembly. There are no physical changes to...

We are using the top view of the part to best show all the features. When everything is dimensioned (using standard linear dimensioning) on...

    How to properly show pipe/tube coping in a mechanical drawing

    Thank you for the reply. No, these are not to be pressurized, this is simply a structural design. My question isn't about the tubing application, my question is simply "what is the standard for showing pipe/tube coping"?

    How to properly show pipe/tube coping in a mechanical drawing

    Good morning all, I am trying to figure out the best way to show a pipe coping detail in a drawing using AutoDesk Inventor. I have a length of aluminum tubing that needs coping at both ends. Some of the coping is 90 degree some are different angles. Is it typical to just give a diameter and an...
