Section Views and Detail Views for multi sheet drawings
Section Views and Detail Views for multi sheet drawings
(OP)
Are there any standards or rule of thumbs out there for Section View/Detail View labeling (A, B, C...) for multiple sheet drawings?
Example: Mechanical Drawing has a 5 sheet drawing.
Sheet 1 has section view AA, does the Section View on sheet 2 need to be BB, or anything different than AA?
Please Advise

RE: Section Views and Detail Views for multi sheet drawings
Per ASME Y14.3 Section 6.5 Cross-Referencing Views "View identification letters shall not be repeated on more than one view. Only one set of alpha characters shall be
used per drawing for naming views of all types without repeating the same letters on more than one view. For example, for a drawing consisting of three named views
of either the same or different types (a section view, a removed view, and a detail view) the views would be named SECTION A-A, VIEW B-B, and DETAIL C."
If it is exactly the same view I'd argue you can show it more than once - though this shouldn't often be required.
