I would look at Fig 5-53 in Y14.5M, so option #3.

I do not see why it is twisting, but I got it back flat by making a new sweep. Use your sketch and 3d sketch from sweep2, then select option for twist along path, reverse direction, then I unput 79 degrees. Odd?

I have seen the same behavior exactly as you have stated. I just learned to use the windows button + tab button and select the macro window. I am on windows 7, sw2010 x64.

Cut and paste in the symbols: <MOD-MMC> for MMC and <MOD-DIAM> for the second diameter symbol.

For Autocad, use the command "time". That will help you with that package. I am not sure Inventor has a similar command.

I usually drag the center line from the auxilliary view to connect the views (and cross the section view line) to take advantage of ASME Y14.5M 2.1.1.2, implied 90 degree angle. But I also keep the view in line and do not move it from the aligned state.

I know it is not the same but see help file for "Instant3D Live Section Planes"?

Look at the angularity callout in fig. 4-24 in Y14.5-1994. It is controlling perpendicular to datum "B". Marcelino Vigil GDTP T-0377 CSWP

Yes. 3.3.25 All-Over Symbol This symbol indicates that a profile tolerance or other specification shall apply all over the three-dimensional profile of a part. See Figs. 3-11, 3-20, and 8-8 and para. 8.3.1.6. The note: "ALL OVER" may also be used in place of the symbol.

See ASME Y14.5M 1.7.4: "...Normally a leader terminates in an arrowhead. However, where it is intended for a leader to refer to a surface by ending within the outline of that surface, the leader should terminate in a dot... Marcelino Vigil GDTP T-0377 CSWP

#3. I think it is understood that the position callout only applies to the straight portion of the shackle. I was going to state that the diamter callout should read 2X on the left callout, then I realized that it may be easier to state the diameter of the stock material in the material...

The only place I can recall seeing the tolerance block alteration is in the Global Drawing Requirements Manual, 10th ed., section 5-23. It allows a user to line through tolerances shown on the block and a flag is located within the box which refers back to the note section with different...

KENAT, I previously contacted ASME and I received this response back: "The 2009 edition of the Y14.5 standard will be available in March, 2009. The examination for certification will continue to be based on Y14.5-1994 until the examination is updated. We do not expect to have the...
