    Locational Clearance Fits

    We typically build round tooling under 5" dia. Our typical clearance is .00015" total for locating fits. Now were getting in to bigger diameters. What is the role of the thumb for biiger dia fits??? Solid Edge V20

    Opening files of the same name but different folder.

    You could always open files of the same name from different folders. We have a lot of same named components and some times we open 1 from 1 folder and other from another folder. Solid Edge V20

    Max & Min Dimensions

    We use min and max here and there on our detail prints. I mainly use them on pockets and cut outs. I place the biggest radius permissible and then put max. reasoning for this is, now the machinist can use what ever size of end mill, or what ever, to make the feature. Solid Edge V20
