Cross out Standard Tolerances in Title Block
Cross out Standard Tolerances in Title Block
(OP)
Our drawings contain "Unless otherwise specified" the following dimensions applied, ex. XXX=+/-.005 or edges shall be radius/chamfer.005/.015. A few of our customer drawings specify a different default radius/chamfer lets say .004/.012. So I place the new default tolerance in the notes. Should I be crossing out the tolerance in the title block? I treat it as "unless otherwise specified" and I do have the new specification in the notes so I have not been crossing them out. Is there a standard on doing this?





RE: Cross out Standard Tolerances in Title Block
A part is defined by the drawing containing it (among additional text or CAD data that may accompany it) so what conflict is there at all? You speak like you're trying to make two different title blocks work for one part. What is the nature of your situation where that could possibly happen?
What does your drawing have to do with your customers part, which has its own drawing?
RE: Cross out Standard Tolerances in Title Block
In the past, my company has crossed out our tolerance of .005/.015 and placed a note stating the radius/chamfer tolerance is .004/.012. I believe this is incorrect as the title block states "unless otherwise specified" and I am specifying the correct radius/chamfer tolerance of .004/.012 in the notes.

So I'd probably go with the cross out in this case.

Arguably still the person using the drawings fault for not properly reading it but having been involved in this kind of thing I now avoid changing standard format tolerance blocks in most cases.
