List of surface symbols

Add a surface symbol list to a drawing. In the list different surface symbols collected from the drawing are displayed in parentheses. The list of surface symbols illustrates the machining method, scratch mark and the roughness Ra max and min surface values. If the drawing has no surface symbols, a symbol according to the standard is added for all the surfaces.

In front of the parenthesis, a default general surface symbol is shown that applies to those surfaces that do not have a symbol in the drawing. If necessary, you can edit the general surface symbol properties after adding the list of surface symbols.

Create a list of surface and default marks used in the drawing.

  1. On the tab, in the Mechanical group, click Notes, and select List of surface symbols.
  2. Select the position in the drawing.
