thread1103-122913: Chamfer Callout?
To continue from the aforementioned thread, how would I call out multiple chamfered corners? 4X 3 X 45deg seems a bit confusing. Also, if you have multiple fillets, which format would be correct? 4X R5, or R5 4X? Is it customary to use a dash? ex 4X-R5.
For structural I have previously used parenthesis: (4X) L1"x1". Is this customary?
Standard is not quite specific enought for my anal retentive mind.

RE: Multiple Chamfers
4X R5 handles the fillets.

RE: Multiple Chamfers
The symbol X could be the meaning of "Times" or "By".
When used to imply the word "by", a space must precede and follow the X symbol, for example a chamfer that has equal sides : 3 X 3 or 3 X 45° (not this 3X3 or 3X45°),
For a repeated feature, the word "times" is implied, a space must follow the X symbol only (no space precede the X symbol), take your case as an example : 4X 3 X 3 or 4X 3 X 45°.
You may find out here : 1.8.15 , 1.9.5.2 and 1.9.6 ASME Y14.5M-1994, hope it will help you.

RE: Multiple Chamfers
To answer fcsuper: I have been in drafting for 10 years. I have gone from working with some old-school structural boys [(4) L1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 6'8-1/2"] to civil to mechanical. Not only that, I have moved from the US to Australia (thank god for millimeters - wake up US!) where the AS standard is based on ISO (small "x" and a space either side for times or by). Which is also the way Solidworks handles multiple hole callouts. Our parent company is in the UK. So all of the drawings I reference use "-4 places" which is space intensive on a drawing and just annoys the crap outta me. And they use "TYP" for everything! ugh
So it is not that I am a moron or uneducated or inexperienced. Just trying to sort out the best way to do it so I can persuade everyone else in my office to do it my way. :)
