Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CAD experiment entry

Nice job Ron! Full disclosure, I'm the guy that everyone in our drafting dept loves to hate..[ 'cause I get to Q/C all their drawings]

A couple things that would make this drawing perfect:
1] add a dim to show the width of the of the milled area [edge of part to edge of raised middle] on the plan view [bottom right]
2] add a dim [or note] to show the tapped hole is centered along the length of the part
2.5] add a dim[or include in note above] to show the tapped hole is centered across the width of the deepest section.
3] add hidden views to illustrate the tapped thru-hole in the side view [top middle]

Other things that are more of a standard practice would be; Chamfers are more understandable when noted as 0.01" x 45deg rather
than a dimension [0.014] across the face. Lastly tolerances as the dim's are shown would be assumed to be -0.0005 +0.0004.
This is based on how many numbers behind the decimal. 0.750" would be assume to be 0.7495 to 0.7504 where as 0.75" [missing the last zero]
would be assumed to be 0.745 to 0.754 [10x wider tolerance].

A simple fix on something like that on a generic level is to add a note stating that "All three decimal dims to be shop toleranced +/- 0.01- U.N.O.]
[or whatever value you choose].

There is actually a box there on your title sheet for just such a tolerance call-out, but it is currently blank. [This can be modified in Solidworks w/ a right click
on the sheet and select "Edit Sheet Format" then double click the text and add your tolerances. Then right click again and select "Edit Sheet". Following this
[and to keep your changes] you can save the sheet format under Files/Save Sheet Format. ]

Best regards! [and not intended in anyway to take away from a good drawing!]
