[...] ligne figurée en trait mixte représentant l'axe de symétrie d'une pièce : on cote souvent par rapport aux axes. 3, record 3, French, - axe
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les axes servent à indiquer le centre des cercles, l'axe des pièces cylindriques et les axes de symétrie. Pour simplifier, on utilise souvent le trait continu pour représenter les axes; en général, on doit toutefois préférer le trait interrompu. Les axes doivent de préférence se prolonger légèrement au-delà de l'objet auquel ils se rapportent et se terminer par un tiret long. 1, record 3, French, - axe

Les lignes de cote ne doivent jamais prêter à confusion avec les lignes d'axe, mais ces dernières, par contre, peuvent servir de lignes de rappel. Les chiffres sont placés au milieu de la ligne de cote, mais si un axe coupe cette ligne, les chiffres sont déplacés à côté de l'axe. 4, record 3, French, - axe
