Deleting a "Flag Note"

Deleting a "Flag Note"

Deleting a "Flag Note"

(OP)
Having a "lively" discussion the "The Customer" regarding the deletion of "flag notes" from drawings. It has been my experience that when deleting a "flag note" the "flag" is deleted from around the number in the NOTES and the word DELETED replaces the contents of the note. "The Customer" insists that the "flag" is to be retained and implies that there is a ASME standard to that effect. I can not find anything in the ASME standard covering this situation. Does anyone know of an authoritative source that spell out what to do when deleting a "flag note"?

RE: Deleting a "Flag Note"

TheWizardofWoz,

Are flags scattered all over the drawings referring to the notes? Have you found them all?

I don't know about the standards. Keeping a blank or crossed out note is a good idea for when someone finds your old note flag.

RE: Deleting a "Flag Note"

Y14.100 and y14.35m are the relevant ASME standards.

Y14.35 doesn't have much on the mechanics of revision mostly section 4 and I don't see 'flag notes' explicitly detailed.

Y14.100 has a little in 4.26.6 about notes including flag notes, tiny bit at (d) may apply but not much info. "...Filling in voids (open spaces) to accommodate deletions is not required. Note numbers of deleted notes shall not be reused."

Worth taking a look but nothing much jumped out to me.

RE: Deleting a "Flag Note"

Yes, the word Deleted is to replace the note.
Deleting the triangle makes it cleaner. A third party will not look for a flagged note that has a deleted part. It happens.
