Cutting Plane Lines - ISO vs ASME
Cutting Plane Lines - ISO vs ASME
(OP)
The company I work for has design groups and manufacturing locations in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Our past practice is to use cutting plane lines per ASME standards but some of our European and Japanese design group prefer cutting plane lines per ISO.
Please suggest pros and cons for using ISO vs ASME standards for cutting plane lines.

Con - non-local manufacturers may not understand it
This applies to both ISO and ASME, and as such is a non-issue (as the others have stated) until a world-wide standard is adopted and enforced. Don't hold your breath.

1. Choose the standard your manufacturers understand.
2. The decision between ISO and ASME is a non-issue.
3. Most of thw world outside the USA uses ISO.

Not sure about the ISO question, but I recall there were 3 other countries besides the USA that did not use metric as their primary measuring system. go to this link:

Other than Defense Contractors, most of the many companies I've worked with have created their own drafting standards, which are bastardized versions of either ISO or ASME/ANSI. But then haven't the ISO/ASME/ANSI organzations modified their standards lately to include the other's standards?
