The drawing, and the DXF that came out
What is worth noticing in this example?
The sketch isn’t drawn to scale, and the photo is taken at an angle. The DXF is 120 × 120, with the holes at the sizes and positions written on the sketch.
It carries two flags: it came from a photo, and something on the part wasn’t written on the sketch and was estimated. It was checked and accepted in review.
