I wish I could upload a part for you all to look at. The drafting Co. was contracting to P&G and we won the bid to build the equipment. This one part, an encoder wheel arm, had some very funky angles, fillets and radiuses (sp) one of the angles wasn't dimensioned, it just had a note notation. I looked at the list of notes on the side of the print and found "??.?" i kid you not. Had it not been for xform, create circle two points, and create line endpoints I had a heck of a lot of math to do just to draw that part in MC. Amazingly enough with the laundry list of revision history, the half dozen people that worked on just that print, no one caught it before release.

LOL, I've seen the same things from some of the most respected Aviation Companies. Everything must be a Rush Job, because if you look at who Signed Off on these Prints, you'll see at least 3 to 4 Engineers Names .

As far as Revisions, that is another story all on it's own.
