We created a custom symbol where I work. Couldn't find it in the software.

Thanks Jason. I will contact PTC and ask that they update their software.

You can submit a product suggestion. That way people can vote on it here. The more votes, the better chance of implimentation.

There is a Product Idea open for this. I tried linking to it but the link doesn't work. Just search for ASME Y14.5-2009 and you'll find it. Vote it up.

Until PTC implements it (c'mon PTC, it's 2013) you'll have to create symbols for things like the <CF> callout.

Hope this works.

Here is a zip file containing symbols I made to allow us to go to the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard next month.

I'm sharing these with the usual "use at your own risk / don't blame me or my employer" type statement. If anyone has any tweaks / suggestions to make these better feel free to provide feedback. Maybe we can help each other make the current releases compliant-ish to the 2009 spec until PTC gets around to it.

The problem is there is more to the 2009 spec, such as composite position callouts that go beyond two lines. This post could be a way to share how people are doing drawings to ASME Y14.5-2009 when the software isn't there yet.
