Engineering Working Drawings Basics

Engineering graphics is an effective way of communicating technical ideas and it
is an essential tool in engineering design where most of the design process is

graphically based. Engineering graphics is used in the design process for visualization,
communication, and documentation.

Graphics is a visual communications language that include images, text, and

numeric information. Graphics communications using engineering drawings and
models is a clear and precise language with definite rules that must be mastered in
order to be successful in engineering design. Graphics communications are used in
every phase of engineering design starting from concept illustration all the way to

the manufacturing phase.

An engineering (or technical) drawing is a graphical representation of a part,

assembly, system, or structure and it can be produced using freehand, mechanical
tools, or computer methods.

Working drawings are the set of technical drawings used during the manufacturing
phase of a product. They contain all the information needed to manufacture and
assemble a product.

Codes and Standards

Codes and standards are made to organize and unify the engineering work.

Imagine; what if there was no standard for bolts?

A code is a set of specifications for the analysis, design, manufacture, and

construction of something.

A standard is a set of specifications for parts, materials, or processes intended to

achieve uniformity, efficiency and specific quality.

Examples of the organizations that establish standards and design codes:

ISO , AISI, SAE, ASTM, ASME, ANSI, DIN.

There are many different standards related to technical drawings.

The ISO standards for technical drawings are found in a two volumes handbook:

ISO Standards Handbook: Technical drawings, Volume 1: Technical drawings in

general

ISO Standards Handbook: Technical drawings, Volume 2: Mechanical engineering

drawings; Construction drawings; Drawing equipment.

Drawing Sheet Layout

Standard layouts of drawing sheets are specified by the various standards
organizations.

The figure shows the layout of a typical sheet, showing the drawing frame, a typical
title block, parts list (bill of materials) and revision table.

drawing sheet layout

Sheet Frames It is standard practice for a drawing frame to be printed on each

sheet, defining a margin around the outside of drawing area.

The margins of the drawing frames are standardized for each size of paper.

drawing sheet size

Title Block, The title block is normally placed in the bottom right of the
drawing frame, and it should contain the following information:

the name of the company or organization

the title of the drawing

the drawing number, which is generally a unique filing identifier

the scale

the drawing size

the angle of projection used, either first or third, generally shown symbolically

the signature or initials of the draftsman, checker, approving officer, and issuing
officer, with the respective dates

the material of the part

the revision number

the sheet number for multi-sheet drawings

other information as required (tolerances, surface finish, etc.)

4/14/22, 2:46 PM Engineering Drawing Basic | Sheet layout , title Block , Notes

In addition to the information above, for drawings produced using CAD software, it is
highly recommended to have the following information in the title block:

the name of the CAD software used and its version

the name of the drawing file

the name of the source part or assembly file

the units of the dimensions (if the drawing is mistakenly printed on a different
paper size, the scale becomes meaningless)

Revision Table,

A revision table is normally located in the upper right of the drawing frame. All
modifications to the drawing should be documented there.

Material or Parts List (Bill of Materials), If the drawing

contains a number of parts, or if it is an assembly drawing, a tabulated parts list is
added to the drawing. The bill of materials is usually placed at the bottom right of the
drawing frame, just above

the title block.

The bill of materials should give the following information:

the part number

the part name

the quantity required

material specifications

the drawing number of each individual part

other applicable information

When the parts list is very large a separate drawing sheet may be used for the parts
list alone.

Zoning,

A drawing may be divided up into a grid using letters and numbers. When zoning is
used it is located inside the drawing frame. Zoning is usually used for large size
drawing sheets where it allows easy references to various parts of the drawing by
referencing a coordinate such as B4.

Notes,

Information other than pictorial views and dimensions necessary for completing a
drawing is classified as “notes”. Notes are usually placed in the lower left corner of the
drawing sheet and they are numbered consecutively downward.

Some examples of the notes used in working drawings are as follows:

Dimension Notes ALL DIMENSIONS APPLY AFTER SURFACE TREATMENT.

Heat Treating Notes HEAT TREAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH standard-XXX TO XXX-

hardness

Joining Method Notes (welding, brazing, etc.) FUSION WELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH
standard-XXX

Plating and Coating Notes CADMIUM PLATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH standardXXX

Surface Preparation Notes SURFACE TO BE CLEANED AND POLISHED FOR VACUUM

USE.

Testing and Inspection Notes RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION OF ALL WELDS IN

ACCORDANCE WITH standard-XXX

Threaded Inserts — Cleaning and Installation Notes TIGHTENING TORQUE OF

THREADED FASTENERS SHOULD BE AS LISTED IN TORQUE TABLE

Miscellaneous Notes PLACE IN BAG AFTER FINAL ELECTROPOLISHING.
