Detail callouts
Detail callouts
(OP)
There's a lot of dissention in my office as to how details should be called out. The only guide I've seen in ASME is the illustration shown on the left of the attached file. Usually we do it as shown on the right. We're constantly changing the line type (phantom, hidden), thickness, font size, etc., depending on the program lead. How should it be done? -jim-





RE: Detail callouts
Section 2.9 references 1.7.2 & 1.7.7 but I don't think they answer your question either.
I do them more like your right hand view, I'm not sure our CAD does the left hand 'asme sample' version.
How about coming up with a company standard for this, just to avoid re-hashing it time & again?
