Yes!
Ok that's the short version.
I prefer sections to use of hidden line most of the time, I thought it was in a standard somewhere that sections etc are preferable but I couldn't find it last time I looked.
aardvarkdw,
I'm with you on ISO views but in my post the other day people seemed to think 14.41 might allow this.

You only need another view if needed.

Was he requiring three views or just as many views as nessesary?
ewh,
I agree there are times when dimensions are allowable in iso or axo views as with ASME y14.41 but that I believe refers only to 3d models not to 2d drawings. I may be wrong on that, as I've mentioned in other threads I am still working on getting a copy of the y14 series here.

RE: drafting methods
Only 3 views. But, doesn't matter anyway, all views are the same.

Out of interest could one of those views be an iso?

Now, to a lot of new drafters, that's getting into too much science and physics.

iT'S THE RULE.
RE: drafting methods
CHeck out the ASME standards. There are certain scales to use. You do not want to use for example 1.25:1 or 23:1.

RE: drafting methods
ctophers advice about the standards would go for a couple of the questions you've asked.
I'm sure most of us are more than happy to answer questions but if you get a chance to look at the standards that will answer not just your immediate question but maybe tomorrows as well.
