Y14.100 question - next assy/used on
Y14.100 question - next assy/used on
(OP)
I'm not really clear on how to use the "next assy" and "used on" blocks on a drawing. The Y14.100 explanation of application data in section 4.6 confuses me.
So for the next assembly column, I should list, bottom up, all of the nested assemblies this part goes into? If that's the case, I have no idea what "used on" should be used for.
Thanks in advance for clarification.

Used on is the "system" and it is up to you or your company. as an example, a first tier supplier of aircraft parts might choose to use things like, F-18, 737, or AirBus A380 as the "used on"

I used to think "used on" was a good idea. As long as the list is not consodered to be comprehensive. That could make for a lot of changes on drawings for parts that are used in many places.
Otherwise, that's what BPICS is for.

I may be wrong but I think it's something of a throw back to pencil drawings like places that put the drawing size in the drawing number somewhere. It was very usefull at one time but is more trouble then good now that everything is stored and tracked electronically.
We just use a PDM system that keeps track of everything. I can use a part as many times as I want without needing to do anything to the drawing.

I created a title block with a box titled "DESIGNED FOR". I figured this explicitly required one higher level assembly only.
I can tell you now that some people work very hard to get confused. I removed the box.

"Next assy", for the next assy it is used in.
All companies I have worked for, it has never been an issue, or has been ignored.

But, if you don't have many reused components, it sure it nice to pick up a print and know what the part number is for the assembly it is installed into, as well as the overall machine/equipment/assembly/model that it is used on.
As an engineer who does his own design, drafting, and configuration management, I certainly like not having to keep up with the application block. As an engineer who picks up a random drawing to discuss details with the shop, it sure is nice to have the quick reference to find out how that part is used. Finding an open computer, logging in, starting up the document control system, doing a where used on the stated part number, to finally be able to open up the next assembly... well, it takes a long time to do as well as type.
