Surface Profile Tolerance Without Datums - is it flatness?
how do you intend to check that surface? flatness and profile without datums of a flat surface would essentially be inspected the same in the real world - regardless of definitions. Not too sure of scale, but that surface looks so small... what does this block do? its pretty simple to fixture a...- jdomechanical

Trig equations in sketcher not evaluating properly
yes, the problem all along was the units - I don't know what I was thinking...- jdomechanical

Trig equations in sketcher not evaluating properly
My problem is that I am inputing a simple trig function into sketcher, and it evaluates fine. when I make it an equation (so others can see the function) it evaluates to near zero, which is obviously not correct. I have shown this in the photos... I am new to Solidworks (7 months) so it is...- jdomechanical

Locating Hex-shaped Pin Holes
its what I would do and have done. unless you need to control the hex holes orientation - that's a whole new ball game. but you said round pins fit into them, so gauge it with round pins!- jdomechanical

Locating Hex-shaped Pin Holes
orientation doesn't matter. pretend your 'across flats'(AF) dimension is a diameter (it is in the inscribed circle after all!) and treat it as a regular hole pattern. we do this all the time.- jdomechanical

EGDT
...and I believe EGDT is simply NX's version of that, as I thought all along. I think they are confused and seeing PMI & calling it EDGT, its got everybody's feathers ruffled "how come you haven't seen the EGDT?!?!? YOU NEED THE EGDT!!"- jdomechanical

EGDT
well, its something that seems to always go with drawings generated in NX. however, today my world was turned upside down when I was informed a customer was able to open an egdt drawing with spinfire... usually you get screen dumps of the egdt (we don't use NX) but its hard to see which...- jdomechanical

EGDT
Electronic Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing in the Cad model, you can open a part and inside, the GD&T is programmed into the model. I see it sometimes using PMI, but apparently there is something more advanced where I can highlight a surface and read its GD&T callouts directly...- jdomechanical

EGDT
Who knows anything about EGDT... anything at all?! how to open (or what programs) open it would be greatly appreciated!- jdomechanical
