(OP)
We are having a bit of a problem here identifying how a detail view should be shown. Solidworks defaults to a complete full round circle and we use a leader to identify which detail it is by letter. Then you have your scaled up detail "B" lets say down below the part. Well we have an old school drawing checker here (all us engineers are under 30) and he is telling us we are doing it wrong but we can't find any documentation to show us exactly how it should be done per ASME. I have the ASME Y14.3M-1994 in front of me and this is what I see.... (See attached file) Can someone please set us straight as we have been arguing about this for a few weeks. Thanks everyone.

I started on the "board" in 1968 and this is the only way I remember seeing a detail view done. What is the other side of the debate?

Rectangles are a p!$$-poor choice for details. They visually blend to easily with existing object lines.

I've also worked with your old school drawing checker. Make sure you are firm but at the same time show respect in stating your case. It can be a long road when it comes to change for some people.
