Circular Lay Symbol Leader

[spschroeder]

Hi all,


Need your opinion on the proper way to place a circular lay (machining marks) symbol.


I have the ANSI standard which indicates you place the circular lay symbol in the view with the surface displayed as a line. But, my line is vertical...so, how would you place it? Is the way that I've done it acceptable to you?

When choosing the "type", select "normal" and select your surface. If you want it to be attached to a leader line, redefine the attachment and select your leader.

Perfect...that's exactly what I wanted to do.


Now...anyone have a good tip for applying two surface finishes to the same entity (my 0.8 roughness and the circular lay). ProE deletes the first upon creation of the second.


Thanks,

You might try adding the second one with "no leader". Edit the "text style" and rotate it 90

I was finally able to get this to work. For future reference, here's what I did.


If you insert a surface finish symbol without a leader, the option to rotate it is grayed-out when you try to edit the symbol. I ended up inserting a custom drawing symbol and was then able to rotate it, place it, and group it to my view. Problem solved. Thanks for your help/efforts.
