Isn't this what the standards were developed for?I have very much enjoyed the replies in this thread. I'm not going to go so far as labeling the OP's question stupid, but like so many newbies, did not do his homework first. First problem, there is no standard practiced by all. You will find a lot of corporate norms enforced within a corporation. There will be some symbology that will appear more common across corporations than others, but in many cases the symbology used will be corporation specific.

OP, what standard does your drawing use? It should say in the title-block something like "Interpret Drawing IAW ASME Y14.100-2013". Referring to that ASME standard will tell you what the symbols mean. If it doesn't tell you, then the symbols are likely proprietary to the company that did the drawings and you would have to ask them.

This is a huge issue across the world. There are thousands of standards in every industry across the world, but unless they are enforced, are nothing but guide lines, not standards. My pet peeve.
Even then, if the drawing was made with a specific standard as a "guideline" and it reference what guideline was used, that is a starting point that will more than likely answer most of his questions.
I'll be honest, we mark our drawings with ASME standards, but I bet very few of our draftsman/engineers have the standard memorized. And very few read the new one when we change to a new one. We generally catch glaring mistakes but there is always going to be some ambiguity and "open to interpretation" within the standards. They aren't meant to be specifically defining guidance for every situation, they are meant to tighten up the "shotgun pattern" so we aren't scattered quite as far across the map on how we do drawings.
Qty (9) answers, and still no pictures/scans from the OP......
More importantly if it's in the Title block, there is no discussion. Either it is to print or it is not. Can you offer an example of Ambiguity when it comes to ASME Y14.100-2013
cut him a little slack. He is in Long Beach.
Figure a week before he'll peel off the ceiling ?

Hey, he didn't tell us what standard the drawing uses... sending him to google without that info is a recipe for misinterpretation of the drawing... haha
To dredge up an earlier discussion of drawing symbols, the OP might need the HUA notation:
