CNC RFQ Change Notes: How to Keep Clarifications Traceable

RFQ CONTROL / CNC MACHINING INSIGHTS

An RFQ clarification can affect a part even when the model does not change. If it changes material, finish, a critical dimension or inspection expectation, record it in the controlled package rather than relying only on an email thread.

Keep the released drawing in control

Use a visible revision identifier and align the model, PDF and RFQ reference. See our revision control guide.

Identify the affected feature

State which requirement changed and why it matters to the part function. For critical features, include the related inspection expectation in the same package.

Our inspection guide covers useful pre-release information.

RFQ check: update the controlled document whenever a clarification changes the manufacturing requirement, and send the current package together.
