CAD and or Drafting standards
CAD and or Drafting standards
(OP)
I could use some help to build a standard that suits our company and what we design as a product. If you have a source of a standard that is in use now I would like to review that standard. To define what I consider a standard for drafting I would say it has rules, good practice, and examples of drafting objects including dimensioning. I would expect a standard to be based on ASME's Y14.5 standard (or like standard) and build upon it or expand to include more refinements.
Or maybe you can give me some direction if you do not know of such a standard.
Thanks, John

The only refinements from the ASME specs is how to make the computer do more work: what embedded properties go into your files so they can be read through the automated BOM, or title, or part number? How much detail do you really need to model or show on a drawing for certain part classes? File management?

You can find a compilation (2 volumes) of the ISO standards for drawing practices...just in case you are bored with ASME-Y14.5...
