There seems to be a little issue here on what the proper or best practice is for calling out revisions on the face of the drawing, in the drawing formats. I find that the border of the viewport in paper space, will plot unless it is expanded to outside of the paper itself. This type of coverage is somehwat spotty for other types of standards, esp. They are very particular about the predrill sizes in their specs (as i recall), and when i've worked with them, our manufacturing engineers had to play with the predrill sizes a bit to get a good combination of tapping speed and thread locking performance. It's the dimensioning and tolerance scheme that have to explicitly define symmetry or the equivalent (note i say equivalent because to us standards the application of symmetry gd&t is a bit limited but the same effect can be achieved in other ways.)

There seems to be a little issue here on what the proper or best practice is for calling out revisions on the face of the drawing, in the drawing formats. You would have to know the function and fit requirements for the part in question to determine critical print dimensions. This type of coverage is somehwat spotty for other types of standards, esp. I hope this is the right forumn.

Critical dimensions are subjective, based upon the function of the particular component being inspected. There seems to be a little issue here on what the proper or best practice is for calling out revisions on the face of the drawing, in the drawing formats. This type of coverage is somehwat spotty for other types of standards, esp. Really they are just nominally illustrating the center plane or axis of a feature.

I hope this is the right forumn. I'm perhaps a bit generous in my use but having been the idiot searching a drawing for the hole depth only to finally realize it was a thru hole i use it a lot. You would have to know the function and fit requirements for the part in question to determine critical print dimensions. If you're talking about the parts list note that you can add to a drawing, all you have to do, after making sure that you've added an appropriate attribute to each part of interest, is to edit your parts list to add additional column.

Ewh, The Best Example That I Can Think Of Is With Specialized Threads Such As Spiralok.

This isn't a big issue, just really curious if there is another way to do this. I find that the border of the viewport in paper space, will plot unless it is expanded to outside of the paper itself.
