The tolerance would be listed in a default profile FCF.

Y14.41 pertains to product definition (titled Digital Product Definition Data Practices), not the methods used to produce it. What is required, not how to get there.

You're dealing with manufacturing drawings rather than product definition drawings (Y14.x), and the only such standards I have seen are company specific.

In MBD there is often a default profile tolerance applied to un-dimensioned features, simplifying the model by only dimensioning items that have a non-default tolerance. These datums/features do need to be defined with basic dimensions (or a note as mentioned above) and applicable FCFs. This...

The model is considered basic. This should be part of the default profile tolerance note along with ALL AROUND after the profile FCF .

Style is another matter. Since there is no dedicated checker here currently, I'd be happy just to get the standards followed a little more closely. They enforce a basic style of their own.

Thanks for digging that up, greenimi! That's more like what they need.

The software (NX) requires a parent view to create a section view, and that view orientation is based on its placement on the drawing. It's not difficult to place a section view in the orientation you want then move it.

Formats are fixed and not a problem. Thankfully we don't have to deal with pen widths anymore. I think they relocate the section views after creation - the current software wouldn't allow their creation otherwise (but these were created in a different software and translated over a decade ago)...

I've seen older ones here where the section views are first angle on third angle drawings

Thanks, This has been basically a "free-range" group, where engineering documentation such as drawings only had to meet the minimum for manufacturing and purchasing to make or procure the parts necessary to complete the finished good. It is maturing and is now to a point where the drawings will...

Y14.5 lays out some basic drafting guidelines that are usually ignored (even by the standard itself) and somehow don't get the same attention as the GD&T aspect of the standard (understandable since the standards title is Dimensioning and Tolerancing, not Drafting). Drawings here are mostly...

Remove the diameter references. There is no full diameter and that is not what is being dimensioned, the width is. This is why the standard shows the R callout separately.

Yes, the FCF would apply all-over, and unless the parts are full MBD the designer probably didn't intend that. My remark was more to clarify that you can use a FCF with no datums referenced. As for the OPs problem, I agree it is ultimately QAs responsibility to raise the issue before parts are made.

The default note should not have datums in the FCF unless those datums are identified. If they are not identified, the model would should be considered basic (should state such in same note as default FCF) and the profile would be controlled to the basic model.

in the OPs example, the plane could go through points A2 and A3 with a dimension to A1 controlling the angle of the plane relative to the part. You could also base the plane on point A1 and dimension to points A2 and A3. What is missing from the figure taken from Y14.5 is the datum plane...

Your datum plane should be coincident with at least one datum target point with a dimension to each of the remaining target points. Depending on how you need the plane orientation will determine the dimensional orientation between target points. "Know the rules well, so you can break them...
