Hello everyone.  First time poster but I've been referred here several times via Google so it must be a rich vein of knowledge :)

We have several German prints with this symbol, attached, describing what we've presumed to be is a chamfer.

It is a right angle (L shape)elongated lower axiz with a -0.2 inscribed there, with an arrow pointing 120 deg out from the origin.

We've also seen this read -0.3 to -0.6 which we presume to mean the tolerance is from .03 to .06



I've tried to look in ISO 8015 and ISO 2768 to no avail.  

any thoughts or places I can search?  Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated!

ISO 13715 is the standard that you need.  The following describes what the symbol means:
