Iso way of tolerancing vs ansi (2768 vs 14.5)

Iso way of tolerancing vs ansi (2768 vs 14.5)

Iso way of tolerancing vs ansi (2768 vs 14.5)

(OP)
I was Wondering how do people tolerance their drawing in Europe.  o they use the iso 2768 system?  Do they insert the tolerance table by range in the drawing or just a "ISO 2768-m" note?
Could I use the ansi way (with number of digit for tolerance) and just convert my units to mm and write not standard or ansi standard?
I prefer the ansi system but I have to deal a lot with europe and the non USA world...

RE: Iso way of tolerancing vs ansi (2768 vs 14.5)

We are a metric company in the US with other facilities in Europe. Our title block has the note "Default Tolerences per ISO 2768-m". This has been sufficient for items made in both locations.

I would avoid writing a custom tolerance block, it has a tendancy to be ignored...
