A lot of our parts that we cut on a laser are simple ID/OD "donuts". As such we often modify a generic program rather than importing a DXF as we're having a hard time getting the layers standardized so we don't have to strip out a bunch of stuff. I am reasonably certain that the shop is converting Metric dims to English for these cases (hopefully in anything more complicated that maybe has notches or cutouts they aren't). Does this present any inherent quality issues; more from an ISO viewpoint that we might be breaking a rule or standard. Just curious. To me, I just wonder what they are really saving. At the very least they've created an opportunity to introduce error (not just in typing it in vs. DXF import but also in the conversion).
Any input here?
