I'm a CNC machinist/CNC programmer and it's quite common for us to be
asked or just expected to modify customers files to help make them
manufacturable/ manufacturable at a more reasonable cost. No one wants
to pay us for lots of hours to figure out their design intent and more
and more customers want the manufactured model to match the designed
model.

Wait a min. first you said you had to modify customer files, NOW you
say your company has an engineering department. What exactly does your
engineering department do?

Perhaps if you had to deal with this situation as often as I do it
might not be so funny as you tried to work with a low level tool like
a roll back bar stepping through a ton of features trying not to break
anything all the while knowing this was taking way too much time.

Now you have to change customer files and determine design OFTEN, so
what exactly is your engineering department do while a machinist is
hacking and whacking controlled do***ents such as customer supplied
solids?

So Jon, if your statements are true and you really do all of this
stuff, what exactly does your engineering department do?

this.

THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN POSTING ALL OVER THE NET THESE PAST FEW
MONTHS JON.  You have been saying "YOU" have to do it. Now you are
changing your story (lie) because you let it slip that your company
has an engineering department. 

So Jon, if your statements are true, what exactly does your
engineering department do while you are trying to determine customer
design intent, hacking and whacking controlled do***ents otherwise
known as customers supplied models?
