Best Practice
- Show dimensions in an organized way, and ideally corresponding to actual location from which a person would measure. This makes the tech drawing highly functional, as opposed to requiring a lot of parsing of information.
- Show minimum required information to eliminate time spent on irrelevant information
- Create user-specific tech drawings. Someone with experience will likely require less information.
- Show additive dimensions (length of 132" when 89 and 43 were already measured) only if they are obviously useful for quality control.
- Distinguish quality control measurements from functional measurements
- Use fiducials in priority over actual dimensions, unless dimensions are required (for quality control or other purposes)
- Include quality control information
- Number your callouts to help in tracking of the callouts
Advanced
- Number the measurements in the order they should be used.
