No CAD & Hopeless

InspectorJester
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 take it you had a drawing to work from so what was the problem other than it may take a little longer to do.

    If the part is a standard turned/prismatic shape then how much more time do you think it takes.
    .
    Remember just point and click does not mean the end, you most likely will have to alter something like number of hits, CW/CCW thread pitch, depth/end offset on cones to name a few. You will still have to name features and call out result set datums create comment for the programme and results output.

    This is not about dealing with duffers some companies do or will not send out CAD models or the models are so poor as to be useless and I am not taking about some backyard companies but large medical/aerospace and military from the UK, USA and Europe sometimes you just have to go with what you have been given.

    The programme you create without a model will be no less accurate than one with.
