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

  • Don't get me wrong; it's entirely feasible to create a program from scratch with a blueprint on an offline seat.
    It's also feasible for pigs to fly, given enough time..

    I could quite easily create the features from the nominals given to me from the blueprint. It would take much longer, but I could do it.
    I could also, given enough time, calculate the home position of my probe by using actuals.
    Would you like to do that, considering you don't have to?
  • I can teach you everything there is to know about quantum mechanics with nothing but a book on the subject, after (probably) years of studying, analyzing, understanding, verifying, etc., but I can do it. Or I can ask a professor who already took care of that in about 5 minutes.
