Good Morning, Covers!
I've been going 'round and 'round with design engineers for years over this, and I find myself faced with it yet again. I have a formed sheet metal part (a mounting bracket). It is supposed to be symmetrical ("-ish", according to the engineer). The drawing shows all dimensions measured from a theoretical centerline. One end has a threaded pem insert centered on the centerline. The other end has a 90? bend with 14 features, all measured from said centerline, and none centered.
Any suggestions on how to get an accurate measurement of the locations of these features, one that doesn't involve tolerance stackups?
