Or at my company, if the drawing doesn't match the CAD, change the drawing as CAD is master (unless the marketing department tosses back one's plans to make said part because "the CAD is wrong"
).
Sadly in manufacturing as supplier (in my case, to Toyota), that old principle doesn't fly for parts being sold to a customer. If you're not meeting the spec, too bad, no good. We've had to toss hundreds of trial parts over changed drawings and related sillyness... but they're the customer, and they're always (usually) right.
