Susan Straley commented on Susan Straley's blog post 3 Tips for Reducing Errors in Machine Design Revisions"Thanks for your comments GS Jha. I agree with you.
A big benefit of saving your original design is that if you DO make a mistake and something moves (like a hole), you can look back at the original and repair the damage.
Plan for the…"

Custom Machine Design
Standard equipment is the quickest way to make a product. When no suitable equipment is available, custom designed equipment is next to be considered. Engineers with a roadblock in their design can discuss with others with this group.

In Weld Fixture Design you need to think how to best hold your product parts in place and keep them there while they are being welded.Check out some images and ideas for clamping in this post from Rentapen's Weld Fixture Design 101.See More

BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES...1) Save a Copy of the Original2) Print the BOM and areas that are changing on complex projects3) Think and Prepare!!! In CAD you can do anything. Not so with a metal part! A revision means that some or all of the machine exists. So THINK! Hard code holes because they already exist in that spot in the metal part. You now have to work around existing holes. Make sure dependent parts are redefined in your CAD assembly so they are no longer dependent on any parts…See More

Revision of M/c design is a very sensitive issue.The three Tips is very useful and practical.During initial design of the machine designer should must have taken care of the products and their operation processes.
During revision of the same,one point also to be taken care of ie collection of DATA of the m/c. operation which will decide what revision is needed.
A very vital point is to save/keep the original design.
