Dennis Schwartz • Wilson,

The reason is that I could be confused with 1, and O and Q could be confused with each other or confused with a 0.

Wilson Alvares • That is what I was thinking. However, I thought there were other more serious reasons. I have already used it but now I'm gonna avoid that.

Thank you Dennis!

John Miles • Also in the Mandatory Appendix I of ASME Y14.41-2012 it states that I,O, Q, S, X, Y, & Z should not be used for views on a 3D model. (I,O,Q,S,Z to comply with 14.3 and Y for any confusion to the Y in a displayed model coordinate system)
