Revision ZONE question

Revision ZONE question

Revision ZONE question

(OP)
When you have a multi-sheet drawing, what is the Drafting Standard for the Zone Callout when you have changes on sheet 3 of 5?  Would it be P3-C2?

RE: Revision ZONE question

I've used "SHT 3, ZN C2".

RE: Revision ZONE question

I have always called them out as if xyz coordinates.
Whatever is across the bottom first (X), then up the side (Y).
Zone 4C (xy)

RE: Revision ZONE question

The changes are highlighted in order by sheet.  So I do everything in sheet 1 first, then 2, 3, etc.  By doing so, I only need to call out the zone because the sheet number is implied.

In other cases, I use 3-C2, where 3 is the sheet number and C2 is the zone.  There have only been a few people that haven't intuitively understood what that callout means when reading it in context of the print.  And when I say "sheet & zone" over the phone, that's all it takes.

RE: Revision ZONE question

When multi sheets are involved, there should be a table on the first sheet that indicates which sheet has which rev. It will not call out zones, only revs.

RE: Revision ZONE question

if you must use it shouldn't it be SH not SHT.

In the UK we just listed this on the 'amendment' (eco to most of you).  Each sheet of a drawing had a separate section on the form so indicating 'sheet' wasn't an issue.

My current place in the US doesn't go into anywhere near this much detail most of the time.

RE: Revision ZONE question

It's kinda old school to have different rev's for each sheet of a drawing, especially in a PDM or PLM enviroment.  

I was recommend coming up with an understood system for your group (company?) or your own person use (which ever applies).
