Another GD&T Question

Good afternoon.

Is it true that positions that are called out on a detail drawing do not pertain to final drawing? For instance, we will be running a part that calls for true position callouts on the detail level. On the final part, bosses get welded into the holes. Does the true position callout no longer apply on the final weldment since it is not called out on the final weldment print? So when the part gets welded and the bosses flex one way or the other, we will still have a good part? Is this a quality standard or simply based on customer preference?

Thank you.

  • Engineers' do not always think to the next steps of the manufacturing process. They could just assume that the true position will be controlled by the child part. Most engineers' think of there part in a 3D state of existence rather than in a literal state. I have came across this many times with my engineers'.
