MIL-STD-100 Rev G .... ASME now?

[evolDiesel]

We (my company) currently uses the MIL-STD-100 spec.

I was just out online and found this:

http://www.interfacebus.com/mil-std-100-canceled.html

Which states:
MIL-STD-100G, dated 9 June 1997 is hereby canceled. Future requirements for engineering drawings should refer to the following American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards and Appendices thereto, as applicable.

Does this mean that those of us using the MIL-STD-100 spec should move to the ASME specs:
Commercial Drawings: ASME Y14.100
DoD Basic Practices: ASME Y14.100
Types of Engineering Drawings: ASME Y14.24
Revision of Engineering Drawings: ASME Y14.35M
Associated Lists: ASME Y14.34M

I believe you can still use it if it's on designs/dwgs before the cancel date. If redrawn or new dwg, then use the new std.

Simplistically my understanding is that yes, you should move to the new specs.

However, it may vary depending what your contracts say etc.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

If your drawings invoke the Mil spec, then it is the Mil spec that is your standard, though it isn 't as easy to get one's hands on the printed version now.

It is actually quite easy to get a printed copy. Use ctopher's link and print whichever version you want. Rather than waste the paper, I just copy the pdf onto my computer.

ewh, I'm not sure, but I think you made my point.
