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?

My favorite project of all time..

A local college was repairing an engine from a u-boat and they needed some gears. They had schematics from 1942 in German. We had to translate, reverse engineer, and then create new prints with modern GD&T. My family has a large connection with WW2 (specifically sinking these SOBs) so it was cool to be a part of this process

I was on a 20 year old sub back a long time ago and have toured a couple WWII era boats.

Biggest thing I noted were how much larger the officer's areas were at the expense of the crew cabins (they're still a *little* larger than crew areas, not to the degree I saw)
