Good Morning Everyone,
Does anybody have any experience with symmetry in drawings? We havea number of new engineers that picked up the habit of addingcenterlines to every view of a part whether or not it iscylindrical. Some will also place a "CL" symbol with "SYM" below italong the centerline. In my opinion this is poor practice...one, itis not the right line type for this and two, it is being usedwrong. I am trying to right up a paper on the correct symmetryusage in drawings for our company does anybody have any ideas. Ihave been in the field for 13 years and I have worked in manydifference industries yet I have never felt compelled to use asymmetry line in a drawing. Also, I know that SolidWorks supportsline types per ASME Y14.2 but I cannot figure out how to correctadd a symmetry line in SolidWorks, other then in sketches.
thnx in advance
