Application Block - Mandatory or Optional
Application Block - Mandatory or Optional
(OP)
Is the Application Block, whether integral to the drawing or integral to a separate Parts List, mandatory or optional? Currently, we show the Application Block along with our Parts List on the face of our drawings (we do not do a separate Parts List).
Our drawings are CAD based and maintained within a PLM system. We can obtain the Application info with 'Where-Used' tools within our PLM system. We'd like to eliminate the Application Block from our drawings all together and remove the need to do non-value added revisions to standard part drawings just to update the Application Block.
Can anyone point me to source with a definitive answer to this question?
Thanks!
Chris

RE: Application Block - Mandatory or Optional
I'm pretty sure it's optional.
Although incredibly useful information, trying to keep it up to date on the drawing is, to say the least, a pain - so, you can't trust it, so what's the point.
