Mar 29, 2006 #5 xgrigorix Specifier/Regulator Aug 24, 2005 66 Well, if it is a revision, there should be a revision history block somewhere on the print. And then we all laugh "Rev S?!?! Rookie." Upvote 0 Downvote

Mar 29, 2006 #6 dingy2 Mechanical Jan 10, 2006 770 In the automotive industry, a triangle would mean a "signifcant characteristic" but it does depend upon the Customer. In GD & T using the older standard, it does mean "regardless of feature size" but I don't think that it applies here. Looks like a Customer phone call is coming up. Good luck! DD Upvote 0 Downvote

Mar 30, 2006 #10 controlnovice Electrical Jul 28, 2004 976 Maybe the drafts'person' (you can never be sure these days), mistook the number 5 for the letter S.... In that case, the revision would be the 5th one. I see it quite often in other things, but never before in a revision triangle. That's pretty standard. ______________________________________________________________________________ This is normally the space where people post something insightful. Upvote 0 Downvote

Mar 30, 2006 #11 ctopher Mechanical Jan 9, 2003 17,506 If the drafter knew about standards, he/she should know that "S" is not used as a rev, for that reason of mistaken as a 5.

Mar 30, 2006 #13 xzwhhl Automotive Jan 5, 2005 6 Hello all, I think is a special note regarding to this dimension or datum. ASME Standars using it as a square whith a number inside & connecting whith a specific Note. May be this is a variant way. An example will be: dimension = "(square with 1)" 6 -/+ 0.3 and at general notes section will be says: 1. This dimension applys before be bended (then this is now an "especific note") Sorry for my english jeje Saludos desde Mexico Upvote 0 Downvote

I do believe it is some sort of critaeria to highlight key characteristics (kinda like KPCs and KCCs). I am almost sure I saw some of these on drawings.
