Drawing Review and Critical Surface Planner

Build a structured set of drawing-review prompts for machined features that may be affected by third-party electroless nickel plating. The visual is a planning map, not a part drawing.

Features to flag for explicit review Threads Precision bores Seal surfaces Bearing fits Electrical contact areas No-plate / masking zones Rack-contact / witness-mark zones Blind holes / restricted passages Welded / brazed / repaired areas EDM / heat-affected surfaces

Project-specific note

Abstract planning map — not a drawing

Select features to populate the review map.

Copyable drawing-review sheet

Complete the inputs and select any features that need explicit review.

Scope boundary:

Zhenling discusses machining inputs only. Plating suitability, process selection, approval and inspection must be confirmed by the actual plating processor.

The actual processor must review coating callouts, masking/racking, restricted geometry, thickness distribution, testing and acceptance requirements.
