Feature callout/image Discrepancy 2

Hello all,

I have an issue where we have a 4x radius dimensional callout that points to a radius. There are four corners symmetrical to each other that this is referring to. One of the corners on the drawing is wrongfully depicted as a 90 deg corner and not a radius. That is the discrepancy. Our supplier made the part with three radii and one point. They say they made it to print because the part looks like the drawing. We say they didn't because the callout clearly states four radii and should take precedence over the feature image.

I need to fix the drawing, but is there any rules, specs, or standard practices that could support our argument? Note 1 on the drawing states it is IAW ASME Y14.100. I can't find anything stating "In the event of a discrepancy XXXXXX takes precedence..."

Any help is appreciated

It is not uncommon to see a specification that says in the event of discrepancy, the specifications govern over the drawings.
That's a legal distinction. In my experience, the drawings are more likely to be correct.
I'm not aware of any requirement like that relating to different parts of a drawing, though.
Anyway, it sounds like the only mistake they made was not catching your mistake, and that's kind of hard to pin on them.
