We have a STEP, a PDF, and an old DWG. Which one do you quote from?

Send the STEP for the geometry and the PDF for tolerances and notes. A DWG is useful as a 2D backup. It is not a substitute for the STEP when the part is 3D.

One revision only. If the DWG is older, say so, or do not send it.

Units must be on the drawing. We will not assume inches or millimeters when the files disagree.
