Note sequence in drawing
Note sequence in drawing
(OP)
Does the Notes from the drawing have a sequence?
Meaning that the note is practice by note 1 than to note 2, note 3, etc (or a, b, c...)? Or it doesn't matter?

RE: Note sequence in drawing
From Y14.400-2013 (empasis mine):
4.27.6 Drawing Notes — Contents. Drawing notes are pertinent data given in word form and used to complement
the delineation of other given data. Drawing notes shall be concise, grammatically correct statements. The arrangement
of the notes shall not be interpreted as an order of precedence, or sequence in manufacturing or assembly,
unless specified as such on the drawing.

Thanks!

That was a cut and paste directly from the standard. It continues with paragraphs regarding Language, Language Style, Commonly Used Words and Phrases, etc.
I am unable to scan it at the moment, so if you want better you will need to find a copy.

I'd suggest best practice might be to have generally sequential notes but if a subsequent revision or some such messes up the sequence then you don't need to worry about it.

I too try to put the notes in a logical order on new drawings.
As for not repurposing a deleted note, it may also be because the note in question may be referenced in other documentation, and a larger screw-up could occur if the note was repurposed than simply deleted.
Similar situations can occur in parts lists.

I need to improve this.

I totally distrust any procedure that requires me to trust the end user's font. Your crossed out note probably will not survive translation to another CAD format. If you need to keep the note number, I strongly prefer the text "DELETED".
If someone needs to know what the original text said, they can look it up in your PDM system. If the note is no longer valid, production does not need to know about it.

A geometry strike-out line only works if the font does not resize, and the text does not move.
