Superceding Drawings

Superceding Drawings

Superceding Drawings

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

 I have casting & machine drawing that was created some time a go & uses Y14.5- 1982 standards.  With these drawings, there is clear evidence that callout letters were used twice for two different section views.  Additionally, some views have a section view with multiple other section callouts in it, as well as quite a few other isssues.  I'm going through the process to try to clean up these drawings & hopefully, at the same time, develop some standards.

  I think the best approach is to supercede these drawings with new drawings & I'm assuming with new drawing numbers.  However, we still need to track or document changes.

  I don't necessarily want to create a huge Was / Is document.  Is there a way to provide a generalized document, stating something to the affect:

  "Existing drawings does not meet current ASME Y14.5 Standards and was updated with Drawing ###"?

  Would something like this be compliant for FAA regulations or do I need to create a Was / Is document?

Thanks

 

RE: Superceding Drawings

To make it clear without incident, make it a new part number, delete the old. You may also add a note to the new if you keep the old that it is "similar to" the old part number.

RE: Superceding Drawings

Two choices
One, revise old drawing noting supercedded by new drawing. On new drawing, note drawing was updated per ASME Y14.5-2009 and is similar to old drawing.
Two, revise old drawing and just note that it was updated per ASME Y14.5-2009.

Use option 2 if there is no form, fit or function change to the design and you need to maintain the part number for tracking and spares.
Use option 1 if you can use new part numbers and still have tracability.

I assume there is some purpose in cleaning up the old drawing besides just something to do. I worked with modifications on Lockheed P3 aircraft that the original drawings were done on the board and we didb't update the drawings to the latest standards just to make a replacement part.

RE: Superceding Drawings

There is a way to handle this scenario in the ASME Y14.100 and ASME Y14.35 documents.

The rule is to pull a new number if interchangeability is an issue.  If not, it is generally a revision.  Some might argue that the interchangeablilty is affected (even if it is not actually changed) by using the new standard and that may require a new number, but that will be up to you.

See ASME Y14.35 fig 2 and paragraph 4.4 for info on to handle this scenario.
