Recommended practice for calling out multiple parts
Recommended practice for calling out multiple parts
(OP)
Have a question on what is the recommended practice. In the attachment I show a section view that represents a generic boss with the appropriate sizes. Underneath the view, the the part number is shown as well as the number of times it is used.
The question is, do I really need to show quantities of "2X" for each dimension or is the callout "2 places" adequate ?
Thanks,
Kirk

RE: Recommended practice for calling out multiple parts
It is confusing to have two drawing location references on a single section. Why does the -9 boss get a reference separate from the section view? If the boss is a separate part it should be directly identified as the helical insert is. If there's reason to be nervous about drawing readers not knowing, add a reference and point directly to it in the section.
