Hexagonal Callout on Drawing
Hexagonal Callout on Drawing
(OP)
Hello All -
First time post... I need to call out a hexagonal shaft on a drawing, but I'm not sure if there is a specific way to call it out (i.e. flat to flat, Ø of hex, etc.)
Any and all help is Appreciated.
Best Regards,
Victor

I've also seen dimension across flats with HEX after it like ewh.
Rarely if ever have I seen it dimensioned to the corners or the equivalent diameter.
Interestingly I don't see a single example of a hex or other regular polygon in ASME Y14.5M, I only looked briefly though.
