Today I found this part in our vault (see attached, SW2017).
Check the design tree, I swear this is not a joke...
I really need to start teaching design intent. (and this forum need a "horror museum" type of post for this kind of monstrosity).
Edit :
Keep in mind that this topic is mostly here to show the importance of the design intent an make a "what not to do" library. And if we can laugh ... that's an extra
Screenshot so I can see the horror please

I especially like the 2 revolves and the 2 draft faces.

That is an excellent idea. John Stoltzfus, if you aren't too busy, could you branch Jerome De San Nicolás' post to the "Horror Museum"?
Maybe that tree was a result of SWX Feature Recognition feature. That thing can produce some very horrific trees that are not able to be modified by any semi-logical thinking person. (Spock would be driven insane.)
My worst nightmare here
BLUE LINES -
From this
TO This
When I started there were literally hundreds of parts like this and we had to check the DXF files from the Machine Centers to double check the Sketches and the Parts...
Maybe this work was his first shot......
Man, I know that feel ....
I really wish that a "forbid to use this part if there is blue lines" exist...
lol, I know that too. I try to tell new employees to think like a guy on the floor so when you do operations split them apart.
Well some guy took that waaaay too literally. He would draw a plate of 48" x 120" then trim all the exceeding to make a square cap of 2" x 2". Luckily I caught it within the first day so it didn't take too long to fix but still...
You mean like this?
John
I got an michelangelo.
He start everything with a rectangle block then remove material to shape he wants.
He took SolidWorks class in college. His instructor change job and work for my last employer.
Since the company work with local college on student projects, he came in.
Instructor recognize him. I got the job to convert it to sheet metal so it can be made.
He wasn't paying attention at class according to instructor.
It was a body armour.
Oh my god.
How come I missed that !
dang, be sure I'll have a look at that ! thanks !

I know Design Checker can search parts for underdefined sketches. But, it is only available in Premium. I'm sure there's a macro out there that can catch them.

You may be right, but he (or she) still used 5 features when it could have been easily done with two. And here are two of my favorites issues:
2. I've seen sketches before that weren't fully defined, but this takes the cake.
7.46056613° ....... what kind of evil genius can do that ?
You just have to wonder. If it's out of ignorance, that's one thing. But, if they knew better, shame on them.
unfortunately I think this is more an "I do not care attitude"

Is there any reason that the sketch in the first feature (Revolve) isn't a rectangle away from the origin?
Probably someone who accidentally scrolls the mouse wheel when that box is selected?
We have a student worker who would override the dimensions in a Drawing instead of editing the Part. He seems like a pretty good kid, but he doesn't do drafting any more.
I got an AutoCAD expert drawn up laser cut parts in 7.1??? scale and we cut it in 316SS.
Maybe you hired the same guy? I haven't seen him for a long time.
LoL...... what's happened inside his/her mind?
That's just b/c it was originally modeled in Catia v4.
LoL really?
Really. Boss asked me to check what happened.
Everything is drawn in model space. Displayed dimension is correct in model space but measurement is wrong. Also every part is slightly different scale. I ended up redrawn everything.
It really took some skill and time to do it that way.
Of course someone should have checked his work. Laser programmer should have noticed the wrong scale.
LOL.....hey....it got the job done. But dang. That is a lot of work with little to show for it. LOL
