diam & radius locations

(OP)
Does the diameter and radius symbol go before or after the # now? ACAD shows it in front, but old standards say behind.

RE: diam & radius locations

seanza,

   On old North American drawings, it was customary to say something like 2.375DIA, or 2.375RAD.  On modern drawings, at least as per ASME Y14.5M-1994, you go [DIASYM]2.375, or R2.375.

RE: diam & radius locations

IAW ASME-Y14.5M-1994 Section 1.7 Application of Dimensions.  The symbol goes before the numerical part of the dimension.
