large structure with many common details
large structure with many common details
(OP)
Hello,
I'm doing a preliminary drawing check for a fairly large structure, which is something we do little of here. Without going into what the draftsman did that I'm marking up, what would be the best way to show detail views that appear in many different places on the structure? Often times one can say "detail A, 4 places" and it's clear, since the detail clearly is unique from other detail views of the drawing. In this case, at the scale of the main view(s), the details are tiny, and look much the same. Specifying counts (such as 4 places or 4X) would not really clarify every place the detail view applies. Should one pull out detail views of areas of the main view, then pull out smaller details within that? Sorry... I'm having a hard time explaining this. Hope I'm being clear enough.

What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?

Another option, is to place a bold (dark) letter next to each item and under the detail view say "Marked A" or whatever letter appeals to you, along with the count. This is a little more concise, but less easy to find on the drawing, hence the second position for suggestion.
