When dimensioning multiple radii of the same size, how should it appear?

2X TRUE R
-or-
TRUE 2X R

Thanks!

Yep, there it is on page 70. I don't know why it wasn't on page 14 where True Radius is defined.

Anyway, thank you. You rock!
 
1.8.2.3 - "...TRUE is added before the radius dimension."

I would read that to mean that "2X TRUE R" is the correct method. The example pmarc cited follows this convention.
 
pmarc and All,

What would the meaning in Fig. 4-28 be if it didn't say TRUE and just had 12X dia. 7.0 7.1 ?

Without 'true' in Fig 4-28 one would assume that the holes were nominally normal to the view plane; their axes would be parallel to each other.
 
axym,

Leaving off "TRUE" would imply that all the holes are perpendicular to the drawing view projection plane.
