Drafting Standard Definitions

[sourcec0d3]

I'm looking to possibly get a pdf (or any filetype that I'm able to read) of the layout of all the drafting standard definitions. Does one exist somewhere where it explains what each standard will produce for each setting that you choose?

Does one exist in the Catia documentation that comes with the installation cd's for Catia?

Also thank you all for responding to my previous post. I do appreciate it!

actually I found it, and got the dimension standard setup properly. Last thing i'm trying to figure out is when I use a box to frame the text to symbolize the basic tolerancing used, the zero is the only cumulative dimension in the string that doesn't get a frame around it. any thoughts as to why or how I may be able to change it? Please see the attachment for a visual.

Thanks for looking!

That was weird, it was there then I replied and it wasn't. anyways I'll try again!

I am not sure why you do not have a box around the 0.
What version and service pack are you using?

DBezaire,
Catia V5R19. I've also tried it in R17 if I'm recalling correctly.

I believe the "0" is a datum symbol. I checked in R20 ANSE and our internal drafting standards and I get a symbol.

I considered that same possibility because I guess it is technically a datum for the dimension(s). Is their any way to verify an ANSI or ASME standard like that quickly online? Possibly a catalog of sorts.
Typically most datums (I've seen anyhow) are labeled with a letter instead of a number because it would be confused with the tolerancing format of the sheet. Also it wouldn't make sense for our shop to check every basic dimension with a tool and in some cases we've used them for theoretical points that can't be checked and are just for building purposes so it would be considered to be the basic format of tolerancing(again from my experience-I have no way to back any of this up except from my experiences). The style I'm showing I previously used in sheet metal parts, both bent and flat pieces. and now currently in tubing.
Thanks for your help! And again if you or anyone knows of an online ANSI or ASME standard library or catalog I would greatly appreciate it!

I am going by experience alone. We typically use MBD format and most components are manufactured to the 3D model sizes.
