Axis parallel to plane
Axis parallel to plane
(OP)
Hi All,
I design a cylinder with a machined flat surface and I want to make sure the axis of the cylinder is parallel to the machined plane. Is it okay to define that with parallelism?
I can find the attachment for detail.
Thanks in advance.

If this is supposed to be an ISO drawing then all bets are off. I don't know if ISO prohibits it or not.
Your explanation and the way you described the remedy is correct though. I guess I just don't think it's a good idea to leave any idea that something like this could be okay. Saying it's "not preferred" implies that it is okay to do, just not preferred.
