drawing standards?
(OP)
i am working for a company that does follow asme y14.5m-1994 standards...but as far as drawings go all of the designers create their drawings a little different. i would like to create a set of standards which will help all of the drawings look the same. does anyone out there have a set of drawing standards that they are willing to share.






RE: drawing standards?
That will be your standard. The only other standard you may have is how to create/store your CAD files and any company notes you may use.

Basically, create a drafting SOP that simply says something like this at some point: "All engineering drawings and solid models created by [your company] for the purpose of describing its products, parts or other items shall be prepared and changed in accordance with current and applicable American National Standards."
And then says this: "Exclude from practice any portions of any standards (e.g., ASME Y14.5M-1994) that differ from instructions within this SOP."
Then detail the areas where the ASME standards do not apply to your company within the drafting SOP. Hopefully the list of exclusions is short. :)
This way to you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
