dimension decimal points/commas
(OP)
I do alot of dwgs for military (US & Europe) and the question came up about use of points vs commas. I have always known for inches, use points. For metric use commas. Somewhere I have seen this in writing, but do not remember where. There are plenty of specs that have pics of dwgs with points used everywhere, rarely commas ... unles it is a European dwg. Does anyone know where I can find (IN WRITING)about the use of points/commas? When/where they are used? thank you

Like the difference in 3rd angle projections, I can see this one being a good thing to define in a title block, if there is possibility of users from both sides of the pond (or channel?) using it. An example could be 1/10 = 0.1 (or 1/10 = 0,1). Or, if you can confirm that the ISO standard specifies it, just specifying the drawing standard may be sufficient (it is for the ANSI standard).

At our plant we work with drawings from both sides of the pond, we never had any problems with commas/periods.

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
