Can threads utilize the bonus tolerance modifier? Can a pattern of threaded features be used as a datum?
In our latest Question Line video, Jason dives into bonus tolerance for threads, looking at how the MMC modifier applies to threaded features, the importance of the “MINOR DIA” designation, and what changes when a threaded hole pattern is identified as a datum feature.

3 things that create inspection bottlenecks — that have nothing to do with inspectors:
▶️Designers who've never seen their drawings get inspected
▶️Drawing revisions that double the inspection effort without inspection ever being consulted
▶️Standards being used as weapons in arguments instead of shared language

Tom and Brandon are breaking all three down at the International Manufacturing Technology Show—and what teams can do to fix them.

“Inspection Isn't the Villain: Why Inspection Gets Blamed—and Where Problems Really Start”
📅 Thursday, September 17
🕚 11:00–11:55 AM

We recently challenged our community to review an engineering drawing filled with intentional errors. Now it's time for the answers.
In this video, Jason walks through each mistake and shares the process he uses to review drawings for technical accuracy—so you can apply the same approach to your own prints.
