Ah, OK. Thanks! I'm just thinking about the time we had manual drafting and we were simply asked to redraw a set of drawing details to built a flatbed trailer , designed by another company.The piece of web that tapers up from the deep section of the frame to the smaller front section where the tractor fits under got me in trouble. The boss over my boss reamed me out I his office in front of my boss. "This part does not fit!!! I answered back , "Joe , all we were told to do was redraw the set of drawings!". He yells at me "You are the engineer"..... (They had to make all new webs, at considerable expense:) I kept my job, after a scary day. So in retrospect, if we would have been allowed to make scale model assembly drawings, we could have seen the error, and better yet, with 3-D modeling, the combination of parts would not have mated! It's nice to be retired and laugh about all of this. |
