L4x4x.25 STEEL

Would be correct in my office.

Steel callouts here are by type...
SS=Stainless Steel
ASTM=mild Steel etc...

So what we have is.....

L4x4x1/4 SS-304L = stainless steel Angle
W10X39 ASTM-A36 = mild steel W-Beam
C10x20 ASTM-A36 = Mild steel Channel

The "L" identifies the structural designation, just like "W" stands for Wide beam or "C" means Channel...no need to repeat that.
Call out standard material types at the end of the structural identifier.....simple!

Ah yes, it's been a while since working with true structural drawings, (Patrick Engineering, Inc.). Here, the only people that see my construction drawings have no clue as to ANSI, ASTM, ISO, or any other standard drawing notation practices. So, I cater to their ignorance. It kind of scares me to think that if I ever have to go to work for someone that knows what they are doing again, I'll be lost.

Have no fear....just come work here!  It's kinda half-assed with notation....we *don't* use welding symbols...but it's a pretty good gig. How's your 3D?

S'all I do. From concept to construction drawings, it's all pulled from my 3D models. Would be a "Bear" of a commute tho...

LOL....know what you mean.  I'm pulling 100 miles a day as is...can't imagine your drive!
Sure could use a decent 3D drafter with some mech background here...otherwise I'll NEVER get out-a here!

I'll take you up on that when I decide to relocate. (It may really happen).

I guess 12,700 miles each way would be a bit much. :)

Should be annotated as: "CONT. L4x4x1/4"
