Drawing Detail Views

[wearules]

Quick question. For detail views, according to ASME Y14.3, the detail circle should be in phantom font. However the example given in Figure 23 isn't clear on whether or not the outer edges of the view itself should be in phantom font. I also can't find any hard references on this in 14.2. Any help in finding a solid ASME reference would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck nailing that one down.
Here's a discussion of the subject -> thread561-399414
It may be in the NX forum, but the question is very similar.

And welcome to the party!

I can not comment about figure 23 of ASME Y14.3 as I don't have a copy, however, you may want to consult some earlier Engineering Drawing textbooks by such authors as TE French about the purpose of phantom details and perhaps that information will shed light on your question.

As far as "Engineering Drawing textbooks" concerned, the outer edges of the view itself shouldn't even match the outline of detail circle.
