Select a front view that best
describes the part
Remove hidden lines always,
unless absolutely necessary
Do not duplicate dimensions
Do not dimension to hidden
lines
Place dims between views if
possible
No dims allowed on body of
part. Offset .38 inch from
object outline
Place all dims for feature in
one view if possible
Dim lines cannot cross dim
lines
Dim lines should not cross
extension lines
Extension lines can cross
extension lines
Center marks in view(s) only
where feature is dimensioned
only
Centerlines in view(s) where
feature is dimensioned

dims should all
be horizontal

All CAPS!
All Decimals
Select a front view that best describes the part
Remove hidden lines unless absolutely necessary to describe the shape of the
object
Consider datums and dimensioning scheme based on
1. Feature relationship
2. Manufacturability and inspection
3. Reduce math for machinist
Do not duplicate dimensions, use reference dims if necessary to duplicate
Do not dimension to hidden lines
Place dims between views if possible
No dims on body of part. Offset .38 inch from object outline
Place all dims for same feature in one view if possible
Dim lines cannot cross dim lines
Dim lines should not cross extension lines
Extension lines can cross extension lines
Use center marks in view(s) only where feature is dimensioned
Use centerlines and center marks in views only if feature is being dimensioned or
referenced otherwise omit.
When multiples of the same feature exists in a view, dimension only one of the
features and lable the dim as NumberX DIM meaning that the feature exists in
that viewNumber times. For example, 4X .250 implies that in the view, there
exists 4 like dimensions for the dimensioned feature
Minimize use of centerlines between holes etc, they add little value and clutter the
object being drawn.
