Some of our manufacturing and inspection staff are requesting that all prints in the company have every single attribute (dimension, note requirement, etc.) individually and sequentially labeled with flagnotes, so that they are more friendly to their inspection forms. Instinctively, the drafters, designers, and engineers in product development know that this is a Bad Thing, primarily because of the resulting clutter on the drawing and the inevitable revision nightmares. But are there any particular parts of ASME Y14 which directly or indirectly preclude such madness? I've been all over it and can't find anything which specifically addresses the rampant over-use of flagnotes or similar topic. Has anyone seen this put into practice? What were the engineers smoking when they agreed to it?
