ASME Y14.5-2009 Multiple Hole Location Dimension Question
ASME Y14.5-2009 Multiple Hole Location Dimension Question
(OP)
I have reviewed the Y14.5-2009 doc and have not found an answer to my question. I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
When adding a dimension which indicates the position of more than one feature is it improper to include a multiplier for the dimension?
The example I have (see attached) is from Y14.5-2009 on page 22 where 18 holes are being located in the Y axis by a dimension of 7. Is it improper to modify the dimension to 18X 7? I don't see this technique performed anywhere in the document but I cannot find a section which states to not do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse

Note, that if you show the common center-line of the holes as the figure in the standard you posted does then you don't need the '18X', if you don't show the common center-line that's when you need to say 18X.
In future you may want to post drawing question in forum1103: Drafting Standards, GD&T & Tolerance Analysis.
