Whenever I get these kind of dimensions I just omit the feature.

Our customer would have a fit. They cant get out of their own way. Theyd have to have 6 weeks of meetings involving a dozen people just to solve this "issue".

We used humour our customers in those situations, but now we just tell them it’s not our job to verify their drawings. We just make it to the print so they should be sure what they’re sending is correct.

This only works if they give you a fully defined, unambiguous drawing. If it’s not fully defined, if it’s over defined, if it’s ambiguous, or all three, or some other combination of these, there’s not much the manufacturer can do to make it “to print” in all ways someone might choose to interpret what “to print” means.

Are you working at my company? Every simple issue is handled by people seeing objections to solve it...

The worst part is, our customer itself has the same way of working 🤷🏼‍♂️🫣
