Bad GD&T prints

Only sharing part of the print for nondisclosure purposes, but there was a lot wrong with it. Thought I would share this since it has been so annoying for me.

They put a position dimention on many of the faces when they clearly needed/wanted a surface profile.
They also had an M modifier on almost everything including: datums that are planes, flatness, and one distance dimension

Currently talking with my contact to see if we can get this straightened out.

Anyone else deal with some bad GD&T?

  • Bad GD&T is where I live.

    Most of the prints from our customers are 30+ years old. On those ones, we work with customer to convert them to modern day notes. Can be pretty interesting sometimes!

    Another big thing I run into is that GD&T was not properly taught at the college level until about 10 years ago. All of the "big dogs" (60 year old dudes with two masters degrees) who have been at the shop for 30 years don't really understand GD&T and they have to go to someone like me (30 year old with barely an associates) who is the expert. The ones who cared to learn this stuff do great but there are definitely a group of those guys who don't/won't care about it at all.
