Time to criticize my Instructions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

PDF's look like heck until you print them or zoom in to see the details, but hey, what can I say???

Criticize away, I can take it...(I think, LOL)

A-arm, Needle Bearing Instructions


Now I need to add this guy to my prints: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

That was hard to read with the font you selected. I take it there are pics or diagrams to refer to or is this like a Microsoft product where you just guess?

Humm....I wondered how they were *suposed* to go together. Looks pretty technical......If ya get in a bind (NPI) there's always (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

IMO, the instructions are fine. If one can't figure them out, hire it done. Fuckabunchoffont (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I could probably do it.

Mueller,

why don't you send me a set of fronts & backs and I'll try out your instructions for you-free! I won't even charge for my truly expert opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

# 9 (I think ) you might want to provide a arrowed depiction of the "fill the gap" step?

I assume you really wanted feedback. Nothin personal.

No worse than others I've used. The font does suck. You should use a font that clearly distinguishes between 1 and I. As well as one that will prints and displays properly at 100% without having to zoom or monkey around.

I've been thinking about your bearing sets for a while now. I might pop for a set of front and rear in the near future. I'll start another thread with the specific questions I have when the time comes. My questions may end up being answered in the coming weeks as they get more actual use. How many are on the road at this point?

use arial as a font, the MAC will substitute with Helvetica (which is the same except for the copyright (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

also, don't use all uppercase, harder to read ...

Nice instructions. Usually when I do process instructions I use part names rather than BM # to refer to components of an assembly if the audience is comprised of the GP (general public) and put the BM references in parenthesis. I believe that approach helps keep non-engineering types from glazing over at the site of the instructions.

On page one I'd flip the rear bearing housing around so that it was correctly oriented relative to the front bearing housing on an imaginary A-arm. Once again it might help keep non-techies from getting confused.

The exploded view is really nice. I'd probably work directly from that.

Have fun,
Kevin

Oh, Verdana is a good font to use and it comes on both OS's.
It's easily legible, yet has a couple of character items about it.

Besides a flashy logo, you need a 1-800 help line so we can call you for troubleshooting help.

Thanks.....

I will change the font for sure, it does look like cr@p once translated.
It looks fine in Pro/E, but for some reason, it changes once Adobe PDF Writer gets a hold of it.

Kevin,

I too think that names would be better in the instructions, that'll be changed as well.

No logo:

No "real" name yet...I've thought of something as goofy as:
Mueller Designwerks or MJM Designwerks or ????
