Section Views and Center Lines.

[crazy^millman]

So you are given a print and it has a section view. Now there are dimension for the part on this section view that come from a center line. The main view has a center line going down the middle of the part where all of the other dimensions are taking from. On this section view would you go by the center line for the dimensions or would you go by a solid line that some dimensions are called from???

Ooo. Don't you love ambiguous drawings??

 

"Sounds" like the intent is to dim from CL, but only guessing at this end.

There, fissed.

 

Typically in cartoons I've seen like this (prolly only seen a half dozen or so of 'em in my short life), CL was the intent. Bult like Bruce, without seeing it it's hard to say.

Well our Customer came back and admitted it was not clear and we did make the parts to the print. We are now in a rush to make parts to the new revision and send parts ASAP. Oh what fun.
