Meaning of this symbol
(OP)
The symbol is a material condition with a circle with a cap pointing to the right. I uploaded a picture of what I'm talking about.
I'm just wondering if it has some other meaning than the particular material condition.
Thanks.

Otherwise it doesn't look like any symbol from Y14 standards that I'm aware of.

If all that fails, then ask the drawing originator to provide their official definition for the symbol.

It is actually not a material condition. It is a production flag of sorts. The M is for Major Characteristic and the S version is for SPC.
I guess this is actually in the wrong forum then? My apologies.

RE: Meaning of this symbol
As for minor characteristics and non-significant dimensions and such, I omit them from my drawings, so everything that _does_ appear on a drawing of mine is important. Apparently that's no longer standard everywhere.

However, I do concur with Mike about non significant dimension etc. but that's been discussed numerous times elsewhere.
