Re: pic: TerrorBytes 2015 Shooter Plate (Drawing) [Rev 2]

Definitely better than the last one; much more readable and more intuitive.
Seriously, why do you want the pockets at all? It's not as if you have a strict weight limit here. If you really want to cut weight, then just make it out of 1/8" and don't pocket. This plate is still a nightmare to make on a manual machine. It would be perfect for a CNC, however.

Have you used baseline dimension before in Solidworks? It's very handy. Click on the drop-down arrow underneath "smart dimension" and select "baseline dimension". Then select one edge to dimension everything from, and click on everything you want to dimension to in quick succession. This will clean up your dimensions immediately and prevent them from crossing each other.
You also might want to change 3-decimal dimensions into 2-decimal wherever possible. For example, the 6.198 dimension is extremely hard to measure, so marking it to a lower precision would help. Same goes for the 18.604 dimension on the bottom; does it really need to be that precise?

You should write the material down at the bottom. Most likely 6061 T6, but it's good form to put it in.
