GD&T arrow style

[Paul Nelson]

Does anyone know how I can get Mastercam to output the arrow style which looks like an inverted equalateral triangle?

 

I am trying to use the Verisurf chook for GD&T and want the filled equalateral triangle on my leaders.

 

Maybe there is a more robust chook around.

 

Thank you in advance.

In mastercam's drafting globals I know you can specify if you want the arrow/triangle shaded or even if you want an arrow.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the arrow style is not one of the choices under globals.

I am trying to stick to the ASME Y14.5M - 1994 GD&T standard.

I can get the shape (equaliteral triangle just by making the width and height the same and I can fill it but I can not get it to invert the triangle like it is on the drawings.

Actually I can't even get the GDT chook to run presently. Darn, I want to do these complete drawings in Mastercam (V9.1SP2) (Win XP pro)

Hopefully version X will be able to do reverse triangle style arrows. This would really be useful for doing GD&T Datum labels. this is one of the drawbacks why we don't use Mastercam for all of our drafting needs yet. We tried to make the reverse triangle style arrows in the GD&T chook but we had no luck.

 

Why and who uses the Rectangle style arrow?

 

Has anyone seen the new ASME Y14.41-2003 standard?

Thanks Tri Tech, I was just about the ask.

 

Since we machine our dies to die designs and CAD data, I haven't seen a "real" blueprint in years!

I don't know how often you use these, but could you create a library of them (GD&T labels) in MC and then merge them into your file as needed and 'drag' them to where you need them? Just a thought...
