Drawing Standards
(OP)
Does anyone know the standard on my current situation?
Here is the example: I have a certain drawing that has a release date of 11/7/2007 by the draftsman, and a date of approval by our engineer of 11/7/2007 (in the title block, not the revision block). Now if a revision of the drawing is dated for 4/15/2008, would the date of the current drawing be for 11/7/2007 or 4/15/2008?
So basically in the revision block we have revision A dated 11/7/2007, then revision B dated 4/15/2008. In the title block we have the draftsman name, and the engineer approvals name, but what date do we assign the title block? Do we leave the Initial Release date of 11/7/2007, or change it to the latest updated date of 4/15/2008?
Thanks in advance!!!

Another question.
If you have 5 total revisions throughout the history of the part, do you need to list all the revisions on the page. For example one company I worked for only listed the last 2 revisions of a part. So it would only show (for example) Revs D and E. But the company I am with now lists Every revision in the revision block, A through E. I was just wondering, is it up to the company to decide, or is there a standard practice?
Thanks.

RE: Drawing Standards
The drafter and engineer and date in title block stay the same, in your case 11/7/2007. The number of revisions shown on the drawing is the companies standard. We decided on showing the last 5. That does not take up to much space. When we put in revisions 6, we remove revision 1.
