Building a Guided Inspection - Design

To build a guided GD&T Inspection an inspection designer should be- gin with a fully annotated model. This annotated model can either be imported from a CAD package or built within SA. SA objects should be converted to bounded surfaces before beginning the inspection design to allow nominal guild points to be placed on the nominal features. The design process should be conducted as follows:

  1. Begin by right-clicking on the annotations in the tree and building feature checks. The majority of the inspection design including view orientations and nominal points are saved with the datums and feature checks.

  2. Right-clicking in the tree and select Inspection > Design. There are three location where you can find this option. You can right-click on the collection containing the GD&T datums and feature checks to work through the design of all datum and feature checks at once, or you select the datums or feature checks only if you only want to work on designing the portion of the GD&T inspection.

  3. Once started the GD&T inspection designer walks through designing the inspection for each GD&T feature in order just as a user would measure them. For each feature the following designations can be made:
