Y14.2 quote help
(OP)
Can someone give me the pertinent paragraph number regarding section line width, along the statement? I don't have this standard available, and an edict has been passed down to use phantom "normal" for the lines. I'm fairly certain that section lines are phantom "heavy", but need a reference before I can claim violation of the standard.
Standards are supposed to be followed here, but no one has access to those standards (other than personal copies). While I have many of them, I don't have 14.2.
I don't mind varying from the standard, but I do feel that a list of those variances needs to be maintained.
TIA!

RE: Y14.2 quote help
Per paragraph 2.10 of Y14.2-2008 following lines are allowed:
(a) evenly spaced dashes;
(b) alternating long dashes and pairs of short dashes. The long dashes may vary in length, depending on the size of the drawing;
(c) Figure 1 (line 11), same as lines 9 and 10, except the dashes between line ends are omitted.
Picture attached below explains what shoud be the thickenss of those lines:

Yes, I am looking for the cutting plane line format.

Does the standard specify a line weight?

RE: Y14.2 quote help
Paragraph 10.2 however is not mentioning anything about line weight.

"2.1 Line Widths
Two widths of lines should be used on drawings (see
Fig. 1). The thin line width shall be 0.3 mm minimum.
The thick line width shall be 0.6 mm minimum. These
approximate line widths are intended to differentiate
between thick and thin lines and are not values for control
of acceptance or rejection of drawings. All lines of
the same type shall be uniform throughout the drawing.
The ratio of line widths should be approximately two to
one (2:1)."
Cutting plane lines and viewing plane lines are thick per para 2.10 mentioned above.

I'm going to have to get my hands on a copy of that standard!

RE: Y14.2 quote help
UG/NX uses three line widths which can be related to pens when plotted. They use the thin, normal, thick names.
Pro/E uses 8 pen definitions for various lines which are usually mapped to only 2 or 3 widths when plotted.

The company I work at has a full subscription to all IHS documentation, ASME, ISO, DIN, you name it.
ASME Y14.2M was rendered INACTIVE in 2008, and replaced by ASME Y14.2.
I stand by my statement that there are only two (2) line widths in use. NX doesn't count, and that's what I use!

RE: Y14.2 quote help
Do you change your system defaults so you only have 2 line widths in NX? Are your plotter drivers set to plot only 2 line widths?

RE: Y14.2 quote help
No, we set ours to plot single width only. We had too many problems with the plotter when we plotted even 2 widths.
All of our plots are 1/2 size for checking purposes. Since our drawings are electronically scanned into our database as tiff images, there are no readability issues either.
