How to Dimension Divots?
(OP)
I'm having a disconnect today. Image you have a plate with a series of spherical divots (like little bowls) in a pattern. Would I dimension those using SR for spherical radius, or would I dimension them as a Diameter with Depth and Full Round?

Jim, I've never seen SD, only SR. I'll have to look into the use of SD.

But for your situation I'd use SR, since they're only partial spheres.
