Looking for help with your resume or portfolio? Head on over to Engineering Resumes Images are allowed provided they are relevant to mechanical engineering or the the posted topic.Īll school/university related items please see Engineering Students 'How do I do this' posts will be removed unless it's clear sufficient thought has already been given to the problem. 'Design this for me' posts will be removed. These will be evaluated on a 'per-post' basis. (No direct links to product websites) If you'd like to discuss a particular product please do so in a self post.Īll low effort posts will be removed. Keep all posts and comments constructive and good natured. Read the side bar and all rules before posting.

Threads related to current projects (home or work), discussion threads, best practices, and everything in between are more than welcome. I’d appreciate a thanks in the comments if you find these helpful, or you can find a way to send us business at RansfordEngineering.The gathering place for mechanical engineers to discuss current technology, methods, jobs, and anything else related to mechanical engineering.įeel free to share anything you feel is relevant.

Invariably there will be something wrong since there’s so many requirements, so no guarantees, and please let me know if anything is off the standard so I can correct it. I’ve got about 12 solid hours in these templates honing every little tiny detail. You can use the blank templates and type your info in the properties, or use the Ransford templates and just replace your logo. The majority of people don’t like dealing with huge drawing sizes as they take up a lot of space, although they have their place (aerospace, shipbuilding, etc.). Included are only the A and B sizes, first because I haven’t had the time to put the other sizes together, and second because I believe that most drawings should be limited to these sizes anymore since few companies keep up their large format printers. These in particular are for Solidworks 2018 and include all the drawing formats, sheet formats, drafting standards, revision table, document fonts direct from ASME, list properties, and blocks necessary for the templates to work right. I had a hard time finding some easily downloadable Solidworks drawing templates for meeting ASME Y14 so I went ahead and just created them myself.
