    Dimensioning Tips

    Our title blocks only says ISO-2768-1989 and that would be the only thing a manufacturer would be able to go by from looking at our drawings. Officially our handbook says we use ISO 129, 406, 1101, and ANSI Y14.5M-1982 but everybody here uses the 1994 standards.

    Dimensioning Tips

    I have a question regarding proper dimensioning of a small part. This miniature part has 6 "sharp" tips that must lie within a plane parallel to datum A. The overall location of the plane from the datum is not a big concern. However, the 6 tips must be within .02 mm of each other relative to...

    Hole Position Usage

    I tried to use the hole pattern as a datum but kept running into the issue of requiring the datum B to be defined by datum B. The first drawing I'm pretty sure is illegal. The second drawing still gets my design intent across but I'm not sure if it is ambiguous. I still want to refrain from...

    Hole Position Usage

    When I think about it more...if the hole pattern was defined as the secondary datum then my original drawing would show original design intent. I could declare the edges with general tolerances and the only basic dimension would be the 1.500 between the holes. The perpendicularity of the hole...

    Hole Position Usage

    Thanks Dave. That is what I fear may happen. I changed the drawing to satisfy management but feel this new tolerancing will be added work on the inspector's part (at increased cost to us), all for a "form" that is not critical. Would I be wrong to assume this second method is going to increase...

    Hole Position Usage

    I have been following this forum for a few months now and thought I had a basic understanding of GD&T. I have a book as well and have read it cover to cover. We had a drawing review session last week and one of my drawings came up for question. The other drafters picked out my GD&T and marked it...
