3DDave, Yup, the total is 8420. All of them are in the updated file, from which the list can be copied and pasted into whatever PDM/PLM/ERP/etc that one may have (assuming the revision list is editable in their application). As far as a recommendation once the list is exceeded? I'm hopeful that...
JHD, updated file with all single, double and triple digit revision letters is now available at the same link. Again, thanks for the catch. I left the old file for those who aren't likely to ever get into triple digit revisions. :) After creating this new list, I think I understand the original...
JHD, Good catch. I've never really understood why the standard even put a limit on it in the first place. Then again, who's making more than 420 revisions to a drawing? I've updated the description accordingly, and will likely update the file itself when I get a chance.

R.Billings, Did you just run across this on a drawing, or do you need to make it for drawings that you wish to create?

There's an old post I made on eng-tips where I provided a link to a file with a full list of letters allowed by ASME standard for revisions and view labels on drawings. That old link is outdated, so I'm providing an updated link now (using plenty of the appropriate keywords in this post to allow...
No worries. Things are starting out very very slowly with 14.6, but I'll keep these kind of issues in mind in our subcommittee discussion; and also when looking at SW products too. Thx!

DIN and ISO should be aligned. HOWEVER, I have found one example where the German edition of a DIN standard was unique, where the English version of that same DIN standard matched the ISO standard of the same number. For some reason, the German language version had a whole extra section that...
drawoh, Not that I know. That's part of the reason I'm asking. That, and I'm on the new Y14.6 subcommittee. I would like to see if anyone is actually using this.

Is anyone using or know of anyone else using Schematic Thread display on drawings, which is an option in ASME Y14.6 (image below Fig 2)?

ASME Y14.2 (not Y14.24) mentions that center lines are used as center points in paragraph 4.7. In ASME Y14.5, these same objects are called small cross when showing dimensioning a large radius. But I've found nothing in the ASME standard that goes into more detail than that.

What's the standard that specifies the size of center marks and when they should be added to holes on a drawing? Almost every ASME Y drawing with holes has center marks that have a uniform shape, but where is this actually specified. Where is it specified that we should put them at the center...

Plutoniumsalmon, Out of curiosity, for what do you use these projections? How often do you need this?

All the views are/can be driven by the sheet scale. Just changing the sheet scale should update all views. Right-click on sheet and chose Properties. Sheet scale is in the upper left of the dialog. If this does not update the drawing views, select all drawing views at once (per sheet) and...
