When it comes to us sending the resultant part back, we do send unparameterized files. The customers have robust data control systems, so they can be confident that they will not be using a modified part that they are unaware of. Control isn't a problem, as long as the files are protected and renamed before we start to modify them. I dread having to work with unparameterized files when I have to do this type of modeling.
This allows us to modify them as necessary to reflect what the final parts will be, after our manufacturing practices are accounted for. Some of our largest customers sends us part files in the native format. Sending native data isn't always wrong, depending on the situation. I agree with KENAT that your practices are reasonable given your restraints. This way we can inspect the mating features and recreate the part if need be.ĭavid RE: Using ASME Y14.41 and ASME Y14.5 drawoh (Mechanical) 7 Feb 07 16:46 So, I want our designers to put as many design details on the print as they can. Where this particular problem comes from is that we sometimes have major catastrophies with these parts when changes need to be made (because of poor drafting practices) and we need to rebuild the part from scratch. I am instituting drafting standards and practices to eliminate some of these problems but nothing is perfect. On top of that these parts are often created from a Rhino. Basicly anyone with Inventor can edit the models (and do).

We don't archive the native files and we have had really poor file control. We have been getting parts that "seem" to meet spec but our problem is in controlling our files. On the complex parts we have done in the past, The drawing has shown had ortho views of the part with PEM fastener notes and a note saying "All dimensions and shapes defined by solid model XXX-XXXXXX-XXX." This has been a problem for us because we don't have a CMM and our QA people can't inspect from the model file. Right now we DON'T inspect them and that is half of the problem.

You can also use the Windows Character Map to select additional symbols to insert.I'm not sure, we are still working on that. The Symbol Library lets you select multiple symbols from all the symbols provided by the SOLIDWORKS software. Use end treatment symbols to represent the end view (section) of a weld bead on a drawing. You can manually insert representations of weld beads as end treatments or caterpillar symbols in drawing documents.

The software supports ANSI, ISO, GOST, and JIS weld symbol libraries. You can use the Weld Symbol tool to add weld symbols to assemblies, drawings, vertices, and edges or faces of parts. The symbol conforms to the size of the selected hole.
You can add dowel pin symbols to holes (circular edges, sketched circles, or arcs) in drawings. The SOLIDWORKS software supports the ASME Y14.5-2009 Geometric and True Position Tolerancing guidelines. The geometric tolerance symbol adds geometric tolerances to parts and drawings using feature control frames. You can attach a datum target and symbol to a model face or edge in any document. You can select the face in a part, assembly, or drawing document. You can specify the surface texture of a part face by using a surface finish symbol.
