Dual Dimensioning with Chamfers

[rpransch]

Is there a specific rule on how to dimension a chamfer when using dual dimensions (inch/mm)? Is a callout of .050 X .050 [1.27] acceptable or is .050 [1.27] X .050 [1.27] the proper way?

The Drafting Standards, GD&T & Tolerance Analysis Forum might be a better place to pose this question.

rpransch dual dimensioning is no long included in the ASME standard (ASME Y14.5 1994)(they think everyone's going to metric you know. i even called about it). but if i go back to my drafting day's and my drafting book, it should be .050 [1.27] x .050 [1.27]. or .050 [1.27] X 45deg. I as a draftsmen would know what you mean no madder which way you have it.

If the edge in question is 90°, you can use ".050 [1.27] X 45°", otherwise use ".050 [1.27] X .050 [1.27]". While it may seem redundant, it is the least likely method to be mis-interpreted.
