Either way, things are not handled will in CAD and/or CAM software. .
Actually, I think they are - at least for the time being - handled well in CAM software.
Meaning: a .5000 hole will be programmed to be a .5000 "feature" based on the CAD file.
If however that .5000 "feature" is a shaft with +.0002/+.0005 tolerance, or a bore with a -.0002/-.0005 tolerance, guess what's gonna happen!!!!
Basically what it boils down to is this:
1: You give me no drawing but a solid model that does not reflect middle, you will get a part centered around the model dimensions you gave me:
If it doesn't fit: It's on you and you pay for it.
2: You give me a drawing with tolerances, and you give me a model that does not reflect middle, then I will re-draw and program to the middle:
It's all on me, but you will pay for me to re-draw and program around it.
3: You give me either a drawing or a model or both that reflects middle:
It's all on me, PERIOD!!!
Engineers, inspectors or purchasing agents need not applied!
Please, take pick your choice between 1, 2 or 3.
