An example of a drawing with various markings
CADprofi program has got typical markings that are used to create mechanical branch documentation. These markings are prepared in accordance with national and international standards, including PN, EN, ISO and DIN.
Markings are multivariant elements, which appearance and information can be in a quick and easy way customized. In this way, one multivariant symbol can replace many "traditional" symbols in the library, giving the user bigger possibilities to configure the type and appearance. Multivariant symbols can be freely modified with the Edit symbols command.
All marking are available in the Marks command. These symbols are also available in several additional commands, thanks to which user has got a quicker access to markings or symbols that he needs at the moment.

•Welds views •Surface roughness •Tolerance •Edges of undefined shape •Projection methods •Measuring points •Cross-sections •Break lines •Fasteners •Holes •and others.
