Features

Cuts that separate local bend regions: placement, dimensional references, CAD rules and fabrication acceptance.

Non-through holes: usable bore and thread depth, drill-point geometry, remaining wall, chip evacuation and inspection requirements.

Calculating limit clearance, reading hole/shaft tolerance classes and preserving functional clearance through manufacture and service.

Process-specific cutouts that provide clearance at sheet-metal bend intersections or machined internal corners.

Cylindrical recesses with seating shoulders: fastener clearance, depth references, remaining material and machining acceptance.

Specify conical fastener seats by angle, diameter, face and remaining material, with fabrication and inspection requirements.

Intersecting-hole geometry, interrupted machining, internal edge acceptance and inspection for cross-drilled parts.

Designing machined cavities around tool reach, corner access, chip removal and the required finished geometry.

Local sheet-metal forms: geometry, process distinctions, tooling limits and functional acceptance.

Folded sheet-metal edges: hem styles, gap and return dimensions, forming constraints and finished-part acceptance.

Accessible recesses and cavities: tool access, corner and floor geometry, depth, remaining walls and functional inspection.

Specifying local flange offsets for overlapping parts, with defined surfaces, runouts, tooling and assembly tolerances.

Shaft and hub slots for keyed connections: dimensions, fits, manufacturing access and separate strength checks.

Specify knurl pattern, pitch basis, process and finished envelope without confusing tool pitch with surface finish.

Formed sheet-metal ventilation features: geometry, forming access, airflow area and boundaries of performance claims.

Specifying interference joints through size limits, material response, assembly control and demonstrated retention.

Finished-hole requirements, reamer selection, pre-hole allowance and inspection boundaries.

Shaft/hub spline geometry, fit, engagement and inspection, with bounded standard and catalogue references.

Internal thread requirements: callouts, cutting versus forming, pilot geometry, usable depth and inspection.

Evaluating wall thickness with unsupported span, material, manufacturing process and final functional requirements.

Holes that pass through the intended material: function, extent, breakthrough, edge condition and inspection.

Fits permitting either clearance or interference: limit calculations, assembly consequences and inspection requirements.

Recessed or overhung features: machining access, relief-groove callouts, molding release and inspection boundaries.

Defining joint edges, root geometry, cleanliness and fit-up without substituting a preparation sketch for a welding procedure.
