When dimensioning diameters the default on most CAD systems is to put
the diameter symbol before it's measurement.
I was always taught to do the same when making notations within text.
However I have just shifted industries from Mechanical to Civil, and
joined a new company, and am being picked up upon this habit with them
saying it is incorrect.
The contention is that you don't say a diameter 14mm, you say a 14mm diameter.
My contention is that you also don't say pound 10 but you still put the symbol first, or radius 14mm, but still put the r first.
Has anybody else come accross this?
Which is more correct?
