Kenat, I can relate to your post. The same nearly happened to me. It was not as extreme as your experience, just demoralizing. I can not comprehend how such a usefull tool as G.D.&T. becomes so maligned. Most here have no engineering or drafting training or education. As a final statement to an...
Thanks to all who have responded. FCSUPER made a very good observation about the culture of the company. As for Alex Krulikowski, I was in his class for about a year learning G.D.&T. for my job years ago at BorgWarner, brilliant educator and has many good informative publications. I tried to...
I am performing a loop stackup tolerance study on a sheetmetal assembly that has some assembly issues and have encountered an interpretation conflict. The note in the subject line is on every drawing. Before the firestorm of criticism begins, I was a student of Alex Krulikowski's in Michigan so...
To WingnPrayer,
I like that tag. That's a good name to have. I think you should continue to diversify your skill set if you want to stay in this biz. Part 2 of the PBS article I saw dealt with I believe an Electrical Engineer who had lost his job due to outsourcing. He scrambled to retrain and...
I have to agree with The Tick and offer an additional probably "inappropriate comment". I have seen the proposal of a paperless engineering department many times. Today there are three types of CAD operators, drafters from the board who are just hanging on, designers and engineers that...
I was watching PBS the Friday before the holiday. The subject was the loss of technical jobs in the US. 500,000 per year. Of little concern to me was the previous losses of manufacturing jobs to foreigners because I am a CAD designer and it didn't really affect me. This is my 30th year as a...
Beginning user. I have created a model without using our company designed Start Part. As a consequence, I do not have parameters needed to fill in the fields in our drawing formats. Is there a way to merge the parameters into my model without having to completely start over?
Thanks in advance,
