Not him. He was older and had 150% more charicature level and a funny voice.
High school drafting teacher also had a big mustache and strange personality. #1 joke in that class was, of course, holding the eraser brush in front of your mouth and mocking his voice. He laughed every time and then gave you detention.
I still use 2B in my mechanical pencils. so soft and lovely. **** that HB noise.
I didn't realize there was a big issue following the drawing standards already in place.

Dennis was about my age, and was well versed in Solidworks. His predecessor, Dave, grew up with a drafting table and a pen.
You could tell just by looking at them which products Dave had designed and which ones Dennis did. Dave's panel designs were very boxy and angular, Dennis had a flair for curves and interesting patterns.
Trouble is, Dennis' stuff was a real pain in the *** to manufacture.
Dave knew that the fab shop was going to be cutting this stuff on a turret press and folding it with a 200 ton brake which I suspect was originally used to manufacture battleship hulls during WW1. His parts weren't fancy, but they always fit together.
Dennis could never accept that just because he could specify a tolerance to 0.001" didn't mean that the shop could actually hit that number repeatably, and that designing interlocking parts such that it's an interference situation if they're +0.01" off isn't a good idea in a mass-production environment under those conditions.

I took a couple drafting and blueprint classes in college. They helped me slightly and certainly added to my confusion. This is probably why im freezing my *** off on the roof trying to thaw and get an RTU working. Instead of sitting in a warm comfortable office sipping lattes and drawing pictures.
This is a high demand industry though, and decent money.

Came across this drawing today. I have shown the general drawing, including the assembly view (minus the not yet added panel). Then a blow-up of the assembly view. What is wrong with that view?

And that wasn't even a really hot day.
looks reasonable. why is the assembly complete on one side of the drawing and not the other?
I'd also put a gap/dummy panel in there to show people where the lock

Why is the nut larger than the washer in the picture? By specs, the hex points should not exceed the diameter of the washer.
