ansi a refrence for symbols on
howdy ya'll,
i'm a inspector or a dod subcontractor. i do alot of dimensional inspection(parts, components ect.) i'm @ a loss in interpeting the various symbols used on the drawings(meaning, i have never had that type of training)i was wondering if any-1 here would know of a on-line resource for these. any help would b gratefully appreciated!!

sorry, but that's pretty scary. how can you be an inspector if you don't know what the symbols mean? gd&t is highly complex and many people that think they understand it, do not.
i am not trying to be mean, but if you intend to succeed in this job, i would suggest getting some schooling.

i highly agree with testy. you must already be able to understand drawings to succeed.
thank ya'll for your input. it is appreciated!
@ testy.. my tenure has been 99% in the electronics manufacturing sector. i have recently accepted my present position. in the past.. employers & peer's as well, have allway's considerd me to be a fairly bright chap. i just need a guide, as to the meanings of the symbols. if i come across something "over my head", i have access to the engineering department. again.. thank ya'll for your input!
