When it Comes to Dimensions: "Give the Customer What
they Need"!
I received a comment on last months
Tip regarding the placement of dimensions on the drawing.
At issue was the 30 BASIC dimension. Notice on the revised
drawing that the 30 has been replaced by the 21.21 BASIC
dimension at the 45° angle. The comment came from someone who
inspects parts. His point was that in order to inspect the
part, he would have to calculate this dimension. The actual
part definition and tolerance have not changed. Since
inspection receives and must use the print, they are design's
customer. Why not satisfy the customer by giving them what
they need if the actual requirements do not
change.
