No CAD & Hopeless

Hello!
I've got a recurring issue around here; no CAD models!
Our QM handles communications between us and our customers; I'm just a lowly programmer, and am not allowed to get into contact with Engineering to get CAD models to inspect their parts. Apparently the boss doesn't want to; literally told me "yeah, that's not gonna happen. Can't you program without a CAD model?"

Working Offline on a laptop, because the desktop is currently in the hands of IT, dead.
Dafuq?

What should I do

  • I agree on all points.
    I'd much rather send an email to the engineer and just have them give me the file. There's little reason they should be against sending it to us, as the QM tells me.
    Plus, if I'm in contact with the guy who draws the friggen blueprints he can answer questions I may have much better than someone who's supposed to interpret.
    SMDH.
    To reply I am told that "they don't want to send us the file. They just send a PDF blueprint, no matter what we ask for." I have yet to get explicit confirmation that we have specifically asked for a .stp or .iges or whatever, and been ignored.
    It's like the machine is magic or something
  • That's correct kirbster
    We have more pink paper than white around here. I wonder why?
