Dimensioning to hidden lines

[KENAT]

The question of whether to dimension to hidden lines came up a few weeks back and I think the reference given was slightly wrong.

ASME Y14.5M-1994 paragraph 1.4g (not 1.4c)

... Dimensions should be shown in true profile views and refer to visible outlines. [\quote]

My checker and I were looking for it this morning.

ringman,
Shouldn't that be a new thread?

Probably a new thread, and rivet patterns probably an exception, but I have used position successfully on rivet patterns to define the requirement and inspection, whereas Manufacturing engineeering used templates or match drilling to accomplish the task.

 

[KENAT]

Out of interest, are you using match drilling because the rivets are csk?

(I know it should probably be a new thread but it wasn't my question.)
