    Is there a standard for a 3D Printed Part Drawing?

    I work in the aerospace and defense industry and wonder if there's a standard and/or examples when creating a 3D Printed part drawing? Standard Notes? Do you show Dimensions or make them a reference? Thank you. -Art

    3D Sketch Pipe - Fixture

    I have been tasked to create a FIT CHECK Fixture for a 3D Sketched Pipe (similar to the attached pic). What I did was create a circular sweep along the 3D Sketch path, but they are in need of a U-Channel groove. When I try this, the U-Channel rotates when following the path. I need the path to...

    Surface Finish - Assy Title Block

    Scenario: We use one standard Drawing Template for Parts and Assemblies. Surface Finish shows in our Title Block. Does this imply a Surface Finish of 125 for all components on an Assy Drawing? I think not, but the Customer thinks otherwise :/ Is there a standard that specifies the placement...

    calloutformat.txt

    SW: 2014. I don’t recall what to tweak in the “calloutformat.txt” file to show THRU instead of THRU ALL. Also, is there any way to show Decimals in place of fractions for Hole Callouts? (Military Specs call for it)...

    3D Sketch - XYZ - Loft - Multiple shaped profiles

    I was asked to reverse engineer an old drawing for a Linear Shaped Charge (fractures jet canopies). In order to accomplish this, I created a 3D Sketch (using XYZ data). Along this 3D Sketch I added multiple Sketch Planes for the profiles (some circles, some odd shaped - the odd shapes will have...

    Validating CAD Models

    CAD ADMINISTRATORS How do you validate your company's CAD models. (Validate = e.g. fully constrained sketches, no mating errors, etc). I can't imagine you open every file (unless you work for a small company). Sometimes this question comes up in audits. Thank you.

    Dimension + MAX (or MIN that matter)

    When you have a Dimension calling out MAX on a drawing (1.000 MAX), what keeps the machinist from giving you .800? Is there a standard for this callout? Thanks.

    Automate PDF's

    Are there methods available (3rd Party Applications, Macros) that would allow you to create 2 PDF's of the same drawing...One PDF that includes a "specified" watermark while the other PDF would be without the watermark (Clean Copy). Note: We do not use Enterprise PDM SW2014 Thanks. -Art

    Drill points

    What is the standard for Drill Points / Drill Point Angles? Is it required on the drawing per the current standard? I ask as the company I work for wants it shown on the drawing. (i.e pointing to the drill point via note and calling it out as a Drill Point Angle). thanks.
