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...
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...
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!
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.
...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!!"
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...
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...
