Keep up the good work, Jo !!!

I have worked with people like that too, and you know what?
I have moved on, taken what I have learned with me, and never looked
back.
For all I know, those people can stay stuck in a time warp forever.
It's a shame when fear and ignorance causes a company to lose
(especially when you feel a certain loyalty to the company)

but I just wanted to encourage you to keep your chin up,  greet the
resistance with a
friendly smile, and guard your mind and attitude.
Believe me, somewhere your new skills and knowledge WILL be appreciated.


Onward thru the fog,   Jack

        I tried getting my answer within the company and
        when that didn't work, I reached out to DC.
        I got several EXCELLENT responses (accolades to Frank Kimmey and
        Bob Vanech!).  I made of copy of the detail, explained the
dimensions
        I used and presented it to my boss.  WOW!  Did I step on toes!
I had
        all kinds of people mad at me for overstepping my bounds and for
        reaching outside of the company for information.  Things got
rather
        unpleasant.  One of guys here hasn't spoken to me since (and, of
        course, I'm heartsick - NOT!).  I was told my numbers were
        unrealistic.  My suggestion of .085" min from the board edge was
        considered waaaay to much.  They were saying between .040" and
.050".

        About a week later we got some boards from production that were
        trashed.  (...clipped)
