Solidworks, I have to agree modeling is the fastest program I have used to produce functional 3-D virtual assemblies. But the drawings are so open to what they interpret that I am always changing something to try and keep within the standards.

Kenat,
Here are the main ones that we try to always conform too.
ASME Y14.100-2004 Drafting Standards
ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing

dgallup,
I do remember during my manual drafting days that you are correct and it was a way of not blurring the views and making them hard to visualize. We use Solidworks here for our CADD package and I think that the program does a real good job of making the drawing views very clear.
Mike,
My thoughts exactly, but I have a co-worker that is 2 decades earlier than myself, and I do believe that this type of drafting was frowned upon at that time. With that being said and having to work with other countries, the more information that you can put on a drawing the better. It...
My question is, If you are detailing a drawing, in the standard 2-D views is it acceptable to leave the tanget lines visable on the drawing. With the Iso view this is common practice but I believe it is becoming more of an accepted practice. Can anyone confirm what I'm saying or am I...
Thanks for the reply, but I've been down those roads. Here's my dilemma. I'm relying on a wave spring to keep constant force on the gear faces, because there is 1. a shaft runs through the center of the clutch and 2. space is a premium so I can't put in an adjustment screw if I could find the...
I'm looking for a design guide or any information on designing a fixed slip gear mechanism (ex the torque clutch in a drill). One side of the gear is fixed onto the end of a solenoid so it can be engaged and disengaged at will. The other end is cast into a magnesium housing. The trouble I’m...
