1. Scope
This MES specifies development methods of engineering drawings for automobile parts
using multi-use drawings/simplified multi-use drawings.
Remark A Multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing consists of either 2D detail
drawings alone or 3D-CAD drawings. The drawing development methods by
2D detail drawings alone are specified in the body of this MES and those by
3D-CAD drawings are specified in Annex.

2. Purpose
This MES aims at enhancing the information value of engineering drawings and ensuring
clear-cut transmission of the engineer’s intent to subsequent processes by clarifying the
requirements of multi-use drawings/simplified multi-use drawings.

3. Definitions
For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions of principal terms shall apply:
(1) Type The first four-digit code of a part number representing the part type with an
identical function.
(2) Functional number The five-digit code representing the function of a part.
(3) 2D detail drawing A detail drawing including dimensions or the like developed in
2D mode.
(4) 3D-CAD drawing Engineering output information consisting of 3D-CAD data and
3D-CAD drawing.
(5) Multi-use drawing A 2D detail drawing or a 3D-CAD drawing that clarifies
differences among multiple similar only parts, similar assembly parts, or similar complete
parts.
(6) Simplified multi-use drawing
(a) Vertical simplified multi-use drawing A 2D detail drawing or a 3D-CAD
drawing on which a vertical combination of the structures of parts of the same type is
indicated simultaneously, including an assembly drawing and an only drawing, which
refer to a “component drawing”.
(b) Horizontal simplified multi-use drawing A 2D detail drawing or a 3D-CAD
drawing on which parts of the same type and the same structure level are indicated in
combination such as the right and left, front and rear, and upper and lower.
(c) Vertical/horizontal simplified multi-use drawing A 2D detail drawing or a
3D-CAD drawing of a combination of (a) and (b). In this case, different types of parts
are acceptable.
(7) Single-use drawing A 2D detail drawing or a 3D-CAD drawing on which all the
only parts or assembly parts have the same part number.

2-d
 MES BA 203

(8) Similar parts Parts whose outer shapes are similar to each other and whose
necessary tools can be standardized in principle.
(9) Simplified drawing A drawing on which only changed portions are indicated with a
note that the others shall be in accordance with the existing drawing, when the only parts
or assembly parts indicated on the existing drawing are partially changed to develop a new
drawing.
(10) Drawing No. A number that is specific to each drawing. The number shall be
indicated on the multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing.
(11) Title block A block in the right bottom corner of the drawing, in which the drawing
number/part number, the part name or the like shall be entered. (See Fig. 3.)
(12) Multi-use drawing block/Simplified multi-use drawing block A block provided
for each part indicated on the multi-use drawing /simplified multi-use drawing, in which
the part number, the part name or the like shall be entered. (See Fig. 14.)

part number and the part name shall be entered in the DWG. NO./PART NO.
block and the NAME block respectively. When the number of parts is large,
a simplified multi-use drawing block shall be established to enter these items.
(13) Difference block A block established to clarify differences among the parts
indicated on the multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing. (See Fig. 23.)
(14) "ON" to multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing A condition where a
part is descriptively added to an existing multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing.
(Transferred-in)
(15) "OFF" from multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing A condition
where a part is descriptively deleted from an existing multi-use drawing/simplified
multi-use drawing.
Remark A part is “OFF” from the multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing in
the following cases:
(a) When the part supply is discontinued by an engineering change. (Deleted)
(b) When the part is represented separately on a single-use drawing. (Transferred-out)
(c) When the part is transferred to another multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use
drawing. (Transferred-out)
(d) When the part becomes unnecessary after the production of a model is discontinued.

4. General Rules for Multi-Use Drawing/Simplified Multi-Use Drawing Development

4.1 Restrictions on multi-use drawing Work division symbols and drawing division
symbols are shown in Table 1. Because the multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing
is the outcome of a special indication method, consideration is required to make the drawing
easily recognized in the subsequent processes and to prevent troubles caused by an oversight
in the drawing. To that end, the following restrictions shall be imposed on the work division
symbol:
(1) The simplified drawing shall not be used in the development of a multi-use
drawing/simplified multi-use drawing whose work division symbol is “Z” or “P”;
(2) The simplified drawing is acceptable if the work division symbol is “Y”, “T” or “M”;
(3) The parts whose work division symbols are different from each other shall not be used on
the same multi-use drawing/simplified multi-use drawing; and
(4) With regard to the work division symbol “Z”, the parts in the prototyping stage and the
parts in the final drawing or later stage shall not be used on the same multi-use drawing/
simplified multi-use drawing.

6.6 Simplified multi-use drawing block on vertical/horizontal multi-use drawing In

the case of a vertical/horizontal multi-use drawing, simplified multi-use drawing blocks for
each level shall be established in a vertical direction. The simplified multi-use drawing
blocks for each level shall be placed in the order of complete, assembly and only level from
the bottom. An entry example is shown in Fig. 22. The space between each level shall be
determined on the assumption that additional parts may be established in the future.

Remarks 1. In order to avoid MIDAS input omissions by the Engineering Release

Control Gr., the simplified multi-use drawing blocks shall, as a rule, be
placed near the title block. (Including the multi-use drawing)
2. If the simplified multi-use drawing blocks cannot be placed near the title
block due to the lack of space, annotations shall be placed near the title
block.
Example: Refer to SHT2/2 for the simplified multi-use drawing blocks.
The simplified multi-use drawing blocks are shown in the left of
the drawing.
