Verification of accessibility of standard content fasteners with tools.

ivan_skachkoivan_skachko Member Posts: 4
Most assemblies use fasteners and it is important to verify at the design stage if these fasteners can be accessed by their respective tools - wrenches, drivers etc of the standard size. Same goes for holes that have to be drilled with jobber length bits held in standard chucks. It would be great to have a function that would perform verification of this kind. For example it would highlight the space that is needed for tool access around a fastener.

    @ivan_skachko Although a critical part of any design, maintainability and service .. not really something that is addressed by a CAD tool.  You could take this further with design for manufacturing (DFM).. but again this is a bit out of scope for CAD and an important aspect of a good designer.  Once there are tools like collision detection you can test for for Fit Form and Function of tools..
