ISO title block

ISO title block

ISO title block

(OP)
Are you using ISO as your drafting standard? We are in the process of creating a new title block and would like to see a sample of an existing company’s title block (to use as a reference). It would be greatly appreciated if you could post a copy.
thank you

RE: ISO title block

Chavelo,

There is quite a bit of information to make decisions on when developing your titleblock / templates. Do not do what I see happen time & time again where it is just a "quick take the template from the application for the sheet size & go."

Are you using AMSE or ISO(metric) sheets?
What sheet sizes are you using?

You did not state the application you are using, but setting up the file templates goes a huge way in having any kind of consistency with the drawings and drawing standards...

Take care & have fun!

RE: ISO title block

(OP)
Hi Kevin,
we have standard inch ASME title block on A-E size sheets, and have created sheets in ISO A0-A4 sizes.
i have seen the ISO standard for creating the title block, and it seems that all the criteria that goes on the ASME title block is used on the ISO title block.
thanks for your help
Chavelo

RE: ISO title block

Most of the fields in a titleblock are only suggested, not required by most standrads. The part number being towards the bottom right corner is one of the few fields that has requirements. If you have a working and acceptable block for ASME inch drawings, using the same one for your ISO metric drawings. In this case, company consistency would be a driving factor.

RE: ISO title block

As Looslib posted, company consistency is the most important factor. There are a number of things that the standards (ASME included) indicate are supposed to be there, but have no relevance; "scale", for example. The only time that I've seen an issue on title block content was on submissions for defense projects. They have people scrutinize every detail to ensure that the drawings meet the aesthetic requirements.

RE: ISO title block

There is a standard:

ISO 7200 Technical product documentation — Data fields in title blocks and document headers

It lists what data fields are normally included in the title block, which ones are mandatory and which ones are optional.
Also it has examples of typical title blocks that meet standard’s requirement.
So if you absolutely need/want to have “ISO” title block, get your hands on copy of the standard.
