Surface Finish
The Surface Finish function can be used to construct various types of surface texture symbols based on ANSI Y14.36-1978 or ISO standards. Surface texture symbols specify the roughness average ("Ra") value of a surface. This value is usually measured in micro inches for ANSI standards and denotes the smoothness of a surface.
You may also add additional information to the symbol, if you wish, in the text fields provided. All information added will be automatically placed in the proper location around the symbol.
NOTE: Various settings such as leader types, unit standards and leading zeros can be set in the Detail Settings tabbed dialog box available from the Detail palette menu or the pull-down menu on the Menu bar.
