Thanks Paul
generally I find many isos misleading, trying to show
a 3D object in 2D
space with only one view is asking for trouble .
However I'm not the
only one as I am forced, through history, to allow 10%
rework budget on
dimensioned isos which sometimes arrive with new plant
items. Give me
orthogonal projections any day; perhaps with an iso to
clarify.
Bet this gets up someones nose.
I'm off on my first vacation for 10 years (Oz, where
else?) starting
tomorrow, and lasting for 10 whole days. Please feel
free to stick the
knife in as frequently as you like during my absence;
the highest tech
device I am taking with me is an abacus and I will be
restricting my ISP
inmail buffer to 16K. Unless you know the secret
handshake.
Cheers
Steve

I work in oil&gas plants and all the iso's are
dimensioned and also
MTO is provided on each sheet
