Standards Tuesday - Application of Dimensions Pt2

Posted on July 1st, 2008 in Dimensions, Drawings, Standards by The SW Geek

Last week for Standards Tuesday I introduced you to the application of dimensions per Section 1.7 of ASME Y14.5M-1994. If you missed it I highly recommend you go back and read it, Standards Tuesday - Application of Dimensions, since it covers such important topics such as Dimension Lines, Extension lines and spacing of dimensions. Today we will finish up Section 1.7 before we move on to Dimensioning Features next week. For the sake of full disclosure, I must tell you that all my post in regards to Standards Tuesday are merely my interpretation of the standards. I take special care in ensuring that I understand each section described in the standards before making my write up. To make it easier on those who are reading their own copy of the standard while reading my post, I try to maintain the same section headings with my own description of each. With that said, let us move on to the exciting parts.

Standards Tuesday - Fundamental Rules of Dimensioning

Posted on June 17th, 2008 in Dimensions, Drawings, Standards by The SW Geek

Over the past few weeks I have written about the different ASME standards that impact areas of your drawing including the Drawing Title, General Notes & BOMs.  All of these pale in comparison to ASME Y14.5M-1994, Dimensioning and Tolerancing. I live by this standard; it has been both good to me and the bane of my existence. For the rest of you who actually have lives and don’t like to spend their free time reading standards, I am here to help. Over the coming weeks I will be covering various aspects of everyone’s favorite standard.
