Re-oriented Auxiliary Views

Re-oriented Auxiliary Views

Re-oriented Auxiliary Views

(OP)
I have an auxiliary view projected off the part's angled edge. For clarity purposes I would prefer this view re-oriented so that its edges are vertical/horizontal to the page. Does this meet ANSI standards? Do I need additional symbols (i.e. origin, axis) to indicate its new orientation?

RE: Re-oriented Auxiliary Views

It's ok as long as the hinge line is properly defined and you note the orientation change in the view label (i.e. ROTATED 30(degrees) CCW).

RE: Re-oriented Auxiliary Views

ewh, you beat me smile

I can only add it's per ASME Y14.3

RE: Re-oriented Auxiliary Views

(OP)
By hinge I assume you mean the line with the two leaders and letters identifying the view.

And where is the best place to note the orientation change? Right below the "VIEW X-X" call out? For example:

VIEW X-X
ROTATED 105° CW
