    Macro library file

    Hey Vikt, <quote>But due to some reasons, i am not able to see any code, but yes i am able to see the tree.</quote> That's because it's a chm file. If your Windows default app doesn't dispaly it, try opening in the free / portable version of Sumatra / Foxit PDF reader. It works.

    Weld symbols for hidden edges

    Thanks for the quick answers, friends! Of course it is right to assume all corners are accessible with a welding gun. I had given just a simple example. The actual drawing is cluttered like hell! If more leaders are added for different edges to be welded, the drawing would become more lousy...

    Re-use pattern: Part Replace

    Hi, I have used Re-use pattern for inserting a Part in an assembly at multiple places without additional constraints. The problem arises when I try to substitute a different part in place of the original, in the assembly. It doesn't allow me to replace. What could be the problem? Any...

    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    Thanks friends, Finally the LMC condition makes sense to me on the thin wall scenario. Correct me if I'm wrong: If the locating is not important, and the hole and shaft merely need to fit together, I would go for mmc on hole. If I'm concerned with a hole in a tube which shouldn't get big enough...

    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    Whoa friends!! I still don't get the concept of bonus tolerance in the snip I attached earlier. Also I work with parts manufactured directly from the math data, like sheet metal and plastic parts. So I don't know how two assemblies are manufactured and fit together by the gdnt specs. I wonder...

    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    <quote>Points 1 & 2 correct. Point 3 incorrect. hole Ø11.0* --> post. tol Ø2.5 hole Ø10.5* --> post. tol Ø3.0 hole Ø10.0* --> post. tol Ø3.5 hole Ø9.5* --> post. tol Ø4.0 hole Ø9.0* --> post. tol Ø4.5 * hole size = size of unrelated actual minimum material envelope (UAMME) of the...

    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    Imagine a hole of dia 10+-1 MMC of the hole is dia 9 LMC is dia 11 This hole is given a pos.tol of dia0.5 at MMC Please correct if anything is wrong in my understanding in the following points: Point 1: This means that the axis of the hole should be within this dia0.5 cylinder AT the hole's...

    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    MMC is smaller hole LMC is bigger hole So from MMC (smaller hole) to LMC (bigger hole), the tol.of.pos gets an additional bonus tol to already given tol. If you specify the same tol at LMC, when the bigger hole becomes smaller towards MMC, the tolerance should get stricter. Shouldn't it? Like...

    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    Hi, I have heard that we get a Bonus tolerance for both MMC & LMC. It is perfectly clear to me how a Bonus tolerance gets added to the position tolerance of a hole, while it starts to "get bigger" from MMC towards LMC. But how is this possible with LMC of a hole (See the attached excerpt)...
