Question

ASME 2018 symbols

Where can I find the symbols to be applied to drawing in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2018 standards?

I'm missing "Continuous Feature" symbol to meet the new drafting standard.

 

I am using Creo Parametric 7.0.11.0.

Hi @QNTran682 ,

All the symbols are there, all you need to do is to update the following model detail option (or drawing detail option, depending on which environment you are in):

Detail option name: symbol_font

Value: asme or stroked_asme 

(you can access the detail options page via File-->Prepare-->Model Properties-->Detail options)

Once you will apply the new value for this option, you will see much more text symbols available:

Thank you!

I found the symbols to insert. However my text box does not display the Symbol graphic text properly. So I can't see what the symbol is before inserting. How can I make it look like the way your pictorial looks? Here's what mine looks like.

Hi,

please do simple test:

  • create new empty drawing
  • set symbol_font asme

  • add new note
  • display Library symbols dialog box
