What is the correct way to call out a 45 degree chamfer? Y14.5 clearly says a note 1 X 1 or 1 X 45° is allowed. Solidwork has a dimension style that is C1 for 45 degree chamfers. I have been using this style for many years with multiple companies and drafting programs and have never questioned it. But now a vendor is questioning the pratice and I can't find a standard that documents this as an acceptable practice. Does anyone know if this is an acceptable way to specify a chamfer?

I use 1 X 45°. If it's called out as 1X1 X 45°, it should be obvious it's a 45°.

Per Y14.5 '94, 1.8.15 & 1.8.15.1 - number space X space angle.
C1 is not a recognized abbreviation for chamfer in Y14.5

jj11142,
The question is: what is the drawing standard that your print follows?
If this is ASME or ISO, I am not surprised that the vendor is questioning your "C1" practice (I assume the print does not contain a reference to any document that the vendor could look to and which would clarify him what exactly "C1" means).

I’ve never seen C used for chamfer as well.
SolidWorks appears to care more to satisfy its biggest customers rather than strict standard requirements (I am looking in your direction, Inspection Dimension!)
