Bad GD&T prints

Link to print https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PPWkIpGwM39PPnNyxP7Zwe0Rr7QkaRxh/view?usp=sharing

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?

  • I work on the front end of this now. Being an estimator I'm the 1st one to have contact with the customer. You should see the shock on their face when I just tear holes in the prints that they create...... Then when the realization hits that I am correct when we start to discuss the nuance in the print mistakes and I start referring to pages in Y14.5 and I am actually certified in Y14.5 ( I dont speak ISO ) only to find out that they don't even have a copy of the standard... Priceless......
  • you can google it and unofficial copies can be downloaded in one click. Good luck when your company gets ratted out if you do this however. if you have an unlicensed copy used for commercial purposes, your company can get in BIIIIG trouble.
