Surface Texture dialog box

Specifies the content of a surface texture symbol. The options in the dialog box are determined by the surface texture style.

Access:

Ribbon: Annotate tab Symbols panel Surface

Surface Type	Select the desired surface type. Basic Material removal required Material removal prohibited
Miscellaneous	Specifies the general attributes of the symbol. Force tail adds a tail to the symbol. Majority indicates that this symbol specifies the standard surface characteristics for the drawing. All-round adds the all-round indicator to the symbol. The diameter is specified in the Leader style.
Surface characteristics	Defines the values for the surface characteristics. Enter the appropriate values in the boxes. A specifies the roughness value, roughness value Ra minimum, minimum roughness value, or grade number. Available only when A' has an entered value. A' specifies the roughness value, roughness value Ra maximum, maximum roughness value, or grade number. B specifies the production method, treatment, or coating. If the active drafting standard is based on ANSI, this box can be used to enter a note callout. B' specifies an additional tail for the production method if the drafting standard is based on ISO or DIN. This option is available only when B has an entered value. C for ANSI, specifies the roughness cutoff or sampling length for roughness average; for ISO or DIN, specifies the waviness height or sampling length. For JIS, specifies the cutoff value and evaluation length. C' for ANSI, specifies the roughness cutoff or sampling length for additional roughness value. For ISO or DIN, specifies the sampling length for additional roughness value; for JIS, specifies the reference length and evaluation length. D specifies the direction of lay. Click the arrow and choose the symbol from the list. This option is not available when the removal prohibited option is selected. E Not available when the Machining Removal Prohibited is selected. Specifies the machining allowance. F specifies the roughness value other than Ra or the parameter value other than Ra. For ANSI, can also specify the waviness height. F' specifies the surface waviness for JIS. This option is not used for ANSI, ISO, or DIN standards.
