Hi folks
I have set specific custom attributes (Serial No, Surface finish etc.) in a template so it applies to all parts in an assembly. Having now set all the attributes for all the parts in the assembly (very tedious!) I now want to be able to view, edit, and manage these attributes across...
You know as well as I do Greg that the whole thing is a complete farce.
The "Engineering shortage" myth is pushed heavily by three stakeholders. Employers, Universities and professional associations. It should be obvious why the first two scream shortage as loud as possible, but in the case of...
Thanks folks, fixed the top view and ended up running this by machinists (the real trial by fire!) and they were fine with it, a generally easy part to make on a 3 axis with a slight modification to the fillets. Apparently defining a datum connected to my flatness callout that I did in the...
Massively appreciated Burunduk
I've implemented those changes to something that's hopefully a little closer to making sense.
You'll see I've changed to the proper Top View, but with a smaller scale to make room for all the details of the right view (is that allowed on a single sheet?)...
Hi folks
I'm relatively new to GD&T (and even drawing) but after wanting to learn it for quite some time, and have taken a gentler approach of using for a personal project before I feel comfortable using it professionally (early career - so baby steps).
I've probably jumped in the deep end...
Hi folks
I have an assembly of a box that will be cut out from a flat pattern on a CNC table.
I started my CAM setup a few weeks ago and did all the toolpaths for all the features. Since that time I have changed some of these features in the assembly, changing hole positions, sizes etc. Not...
Hi all
I've been binging a lot on documentaries lately, mostly on the grand old stuff that still amazes today, Concorde, SR-71, Apollo etc. Over the weekend me and some friends were catching up for some beers and inevitably it lead to the usual workplace whinge. We surmised that there are...
The data is interesting. It suggests to me that there certainly isn't a shortage, but the situation is probably not as dire as some folks here suggest.
I remember there was a statement made by Allan Greenspan about 10 years ago about income inequality. His solution was absurd, but not...
Was that before the E3 visa? In 2005 I think it was when we did a free trade deal with the US, George Bush threw in a sweetener in the form of the E3 visa specifically for Australians. Apparently it was for being a part of the "Coalition of the willing" and sending troops to Afghanistan and...
Hi folks
Perhaps an odd question, but does anyone know where I can find the cost to manufacture certain components ie, raw material to finished product, specifically chasis components? Manufacturers don't tend to publish this information for obvious reasons. I thought about finding specific...
Whats the inflation rate in the US? 2-3% or thereabouts?
If your getting 3% raises your wage is effectively stagnant, below that and its declining.
Maybe its time to get greedy? Everyone else seems to be. They've done well from it too.

Is this the same China that is supposed to be the worlds next super power?
The mind boggles...

The "engineering shortage" mythology does not show any signs of stopping. But then again, its never left.
Was reading an article about a year ago about the cold war and the US governments ramp up of technological innovation of the period. After the soviet union launched Sputnik, the US was...
I haven't been in your position, and I'm young and inexperienced so I really shouldn't even been commenting on such an issue, but perhaps you could remind HR that should a bad hire perform poorly on your watch it will be your responsibility and not their's. That should be enough "leverage" (HR...
