Description
Previously, in some cases, the definition of drafted features for ASME models was not fully compliant with the latest standard.
GD&T Advisor now provides improved support for the ASME Y14.8-2022 standard when the Drafted Size schema is used for tapered or drafted features, helping ensure more accurate and standards-compliant feature definitions.
This enhancement provides the following improvements:

  • A new model type for identifying casted, forged, or molded parts.
  • The new modifier introduced in ASME Y14.8-2022 defines a geometrical tolerance applied to the full-drafted feature.
  • The model now indicates ASME Y14.8-2022 as one of the standards used, adding it as a flat-to-screen note.
  • Additional logic checks and GD&T Advisor warning messages were added when defining drafted or tapered features with the “Drafted Size” schema, to inform users about the correctness of their GD&T definitions.

Benefits
This enhancement improves support for drafted features in accordance with the ASME Y14.8-2022 standard.
