I’ve been delving into the various engineering standards that apply to mechanical component design, and it can feel overwhelming at times… Recently, I relied on ASME Y14.5 for tolerance and dimensioning, but I’m curious what other standards you all use for integration into your CAD workflows. Any recommendations on resources or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
I totally get the overwhelm! ASME Y14.5 is a great start, but don’t forget about ISO 2768 for generalized tolerances. Have you tried integrating both into your CAD system?
I’ve found using ASME Y14.5 along with IEC 60617 for symbols really helps. Makes integrating standards smoother in CAD environments! Have you looked at that?
It’s a bit like baking; you need the right recipe and ingredients to get that perfect outcome. I’ve found that combining ASME Y14.5 with ISO 1101 for geometrical tolerancing can really clarify your designs in CAD. Have you considered that combo?
