Point of Introduction, that is where we are using P.O.I for.
But above statement does not make sense to me.
 
Thgirw;

Could you please explain your reference? I have not encountered it before.
 
"Point of Ignorance". No reason to use vague abbreviations in the era of CAD.
 
The feature it refers to is a circle/centerpoint. Perhaps the point of intersection is a vague reference to centerpoint...

Thanks for the help.
 
ryandias,

Can you see a feature that is 18.90 something or others?

The dimension 18.9 is from the center of a mounting hole to the extent of the perimeter.
 
Point Of Interface?

Maybe you are better off mis-interpeting it, the funnier and more outrageous, the better. People have to learn to not use obscure acronyms.

Eschew obfuscation.

Agreed.

Now there is also a CRS reference associated with radial features...
got an interpretation for that?
 
problem is now, they threw some ambiguous note in that I am not certain carries no relevant meaning.
 
Controlled Radius Sphere?

Per ASMe Y14.38a-2002 Abbreviations & Acronyms

CRS - 'Cold Rolled Steel' or 'Coarse'

POI - nadda
