Drawing Tree Standards
Drawing Tree Standards
(OP)
Is anyone aware of any standards for creating drawing trees? Currently the drawing tree structure is dictated by our project managers and they all end up being different. I'd like to be able to standardize them somehow.
Thanks,
Bob

There is a down loadable PDF, but it doesn't say much.

RE: Drawing Tree Standards
Is there any reason why your drawing tree data would be defined by anything other than the parts lists?
I have seen similar problems with assembly trees, but these are due to parts lists being nonexistant, or inaccurate. There is also the issue what items are important enough to be on the assembly tree.

4.4. Drawing Tree
A drawing tree is used to control the development of drawings and their place in
the overall scheme of the project. Although this type drawing is not a
requirement for each project, when used properly and kept up to date, it can be a
valuable management aid and can be contained in a configuration management
database. See Figure 19.
However, that is a NASA doc not ASME so I can see why bashcraft is hesitant to take it as gospel.
If you have the Genium or similar manual they might have examples too, still not an ASME spec though.

You can use the NASA info as a basis and modify it to suit your needs.
