[That certainly sounds fun... You make it sound like it would save you time to redesign the part from scratch! ]
[trust me, i only need to know where to send the bomb. Hawker's engineering staff have nearly given me ulcers once before, when I spent 3 months of my life fixing their engineering models to contain all the missing floor fillets that they pencil whipped onto the parts list, but conveniently failed to include in their NC datasets. I had to do this for ONE HUNDRED SIXTY PART NUMBERS! Of course, the fillets that *were* on them were also broken in horrible, mathematically impossible ways too. Of course, these were batshit crazy 5-axis parts on top of it all, with compound loft-contours that needed the fillets put on, and which made my CAD software very very angry, and required manual creation, and sewing of the missing geometry to the models, and a huge ass bottle of tums. (and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.) I think Hawker Beechcraft hires chimpanzees with diarrhea, or perhaps preschool kids with ADHD,-- instead of actual aviation engineers. I mean seriously! Those things went through weight and stress WITHOUT FLOOR FILLETS! Nobody caught that?! WTF!? LOL! ...... And yes, I pretty much *DID* have to re-build the models from scratch to make them actually match the specified design parameters, because hawker couldnt be bothered to fix their own shit, or worse, actually do it right the first time. I had DREAMS about fixing surfaces! It was terrible!]
[dont even get me started on the 1950s (HAND DRAWN!) engineering from Bell Helicopter though. Fucking 50 layers of ADCNs! Drawing at rev new, now at Rev Z! Follow the bouncing drawing change documents, because nobody wanted to make updated prints! WHEE! Nevermind that the part no longer even remotely resembles the original print now! We need a digital model of it so we can NC program it! Chop chop!, oh, and if you get it wrong, we'll scrap the order, and they are worth 6k EACH, and there are 200 of them.]
[Yes. Sometimes i work in one of the many levels of hell, reserved for poor, disheveled engineers. Other times though, its quite nice where i work.]
