Thanks

Why do you want to create a new standard? Is this an in-house standard, or an industry wide standard?
I not just being difficult. For some reason, you need a new standard. Presumably, you have a problem to solve. This ought to drive whatever it is you are trying to do.

If the standard is available, purchase it, review it and if it provides a benefit to your company, implement it.
If a standard does not exist, or an exisiting standard does not provide a benefit, try to see what others in your industry (competittors and vendors) are doing. Adopt what you consider to be helpful and make it a standard.
Also, check this forums FAQ section. Currently there ar only 2 listed, but both provide good directions for you to follow. FAQ1103-1044 and FAQ1103-1039 It will also depend on what country you are in.

OK, I'm finding standard information about a drafting symbol, this is an old tooling symbol used by GM, but I do not know if they have a standard of it!
I was looking for at Internet and old GM documentation, but does not found.
This one we actually still using to identify some dimensions that are involved only for tooling purposes and does not have relationship with the drawing part or functionality.
The symbol is a triangle with a half part hatched.
In the General notes, we posting the note "FOR TOOLING PURPOSSES ONLY" and to ID this use the triangle half hatched symbol and matched with the dimension that is involved.
