ctopher: That (pdfs not printing correctly) is a problem we are familiar with, as well.
We routinely create drawings for hydraulic hoses and a few other parts that are shown as broken parts. No sense in a to scale 100+ inch hose drawing, I guess.
The question has arisen: do we underline the broken dim or not? In Solid Edge you can dimension a broken view and the dim will update...
pylfrm: I agree with you 100% on the individual indications. That's what I've seen at my previous jobs and that's what we do here, just not with the sheet/zone indication. It would work here the majority of the time to add something like the SOLIDWORKS example. That could work for us - one of...
Our company does not currently cross-reference sections across multiple sheets. Two or three sheet drawings this isn't really an issue. However, we have many drawings that exceed that by a bit. It gets... messy. I am attempting to introduce this concept (cross-referencing) to our engineering...
I've always been taught that items should only be called out as needed for clarity and not called out everywhere possible. I am curious if ASME Y14 discusses this anywhere. I've looked through Y14 and haven't found anything but could certainly have missed it. I have also searched through the...
