Quick question About ISO.....

If a Blueprint calls for ASME Y14.5 wouldn't this be the standard rules apply. How would I know if and when to apply ISO? I have yet to see anything on a blueprint stating this. The reason I bring this up is for the good old Profile callout. Before I make an argument, I want to cover all my resources. Customer already claims in an email that PC-DMIS is not capable of doing this. I and everyone on here already that's horse_S_H_I_T. But its Friday and I'm ready to P_I_S_S someone off

    "For each direction... the smallest intermediate tolerance". Why would each direction be an envelope expanding on both sides of nominal? Then it wouldn't be each direction, it would be "expand until both sides are enveloped."

  • You know how they say a lawyer is supposed to be able to argue both sides of a case by looking at things from both points of view?
    I think the way this was written, it allows that sort of thing because it is not explicit enough. Oftentimes these geometrical concepts have to be sketched because its hard to compose words that build the correct picture in everyone's head. I guess it would be best for us to not convince each other because then we would be misfits among the others in our regions that understand it these ways.
