Top 10 CAD & Drafting Mistakes - DQDesign

These are common CAD and Drafting problems I've been addressing throughout my career. Maybe some are a thing of the past due to advanced CAD software and processes, but this has been my experience. I'm very interested to see the ways your organisations have addressed these issues. Please feel free to send comments and perhaps I can put together a response video with your solutions.

How often do you encounter faked dimensions? I have seen exploded and re-typed dimensions in AutoCAD, and it was a disaster. I have any say in this, the practitioners would be fired immediately.

[@dqdesign6456]

Very common, especially in a large organizations where many people have access to the drawings. Untrained people will make changes and "do whatever it takes" to get the print the way they need it. Circumventing the systems...

Yes, It very common to "fudge" the dimension then to update a poorly defined 3D CAD Model.
I have also heard "The CAD model made good parts, so we shouldn't change it" even though the print doesn't match the Model.
I hate that and don't be that person.
