i'm just try to get a feeling for the syntax only not wheather there is such an object. lets try this:
DIN912_M3X0.5X25.4L
SHCS, ALLOY STEEL

maybe i wasn't clear enough..sorry
the CAD part file name is: DIN912_M3X1_5X8L
correction to orginal post...can't have a period in a file name
and the description is: SHCS, ALLOY STEEL PLATED
does this help a little?

i'm still working on our "mil-spec" metric hardware library so forgive me if it sounds as if i'm beating a dead horse...
is this syntax acceptable for a metric callout in a BOM?
DIN912_M3X1.5X8L SHCS, ALLOY STEEL PLATED
i'm trying to mimic the US mil spec syntax call out, i.e.
MS16995-1 SHCS...
here's a PDF to show my scheme

it's 2 holes dimensioned from a common edge is the way i did it. he claims that using a base line (ordinate) dimension scheme has a greater tolerance stack than if one hole is dimensioned to an edge and the other hole is dimensioned to that hole

i'm getting redlined on my dimensiioning scheme. i have always tried to dimension from a common edge (datum)and not use chain dimensions. the standard says that chain dimensions have the most tolerance stack while baseline/ordinate and direct dimensioning schemes have lesser tolerance stacks...
thanks for the reply's. CM = configuration mgmnt
CM said they need the dimensional info in the description so purchasing knows what to get. i believe the drawing should be the control for what purchasing needs to do any purchasing. BTW the part in question is a square heatsinking material which...
our CM dept is insisting that a dimensional value be included in a part description. i don't think that's correct in that if the part changes physically (size change) the description of the part (embedded dimension) no longer matches the physical dimensions of the part. is there a spec (possible...
i'm trying to develop a CAD library of metric "mil spec" hardware. I've found out that there isn't a mil spec for metric hardware...SHCS, FHCS, washers, nuts, hex bolts etc.is there a spec for this type of application, either ISO or DIN and where can i find such. the specs that i've found are...

anyone out there in pro/e land have a drawing table that's been set up for a family tabled part that they would like to share? i have one but i can't resize 2 of the columns.
thanks in advance

does anyone out there know what the MIL-SPEC is for a thru wall mil spec connector spacing arrangement? i believe there is a spec that calls out the distance btwn connectors (relative to their size) in regards to being able to get a persons hand (gloved/not gloved) into an area to disconnect it...
ok. thanks for all the help. this site is a great source for info that's hard to find anywhere. this info is based upon a LOT of experience from a lot of individuals in many different engineering fields. thanks again

what i was most concerned about was top level and sub-assenbly drawings calling out english mil-spec AND ISO spec hardware.
