Drawing Guide

[castaway_Robins]

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a good book/guide to improve the standards of drawings? The company I work in uses a random assortment of different styles in dimensioning, layoug etc with no commonality. The US part of the department tries following ASME, but I think in Europe (and the far East) we should be following ISO. I know that ISO 128 gives everything I need but I do not want to trawl through the whole thing just to add GDT to a drawing. Is there a simple guid out there which gives a very good overview and guides you through the drawing process?

Cheers.

Take a look at www.ihs.com and search for drawing practices. One of the manuals we use from here is the Drawing Requirements Manual (DRM 10th Edition). Another site you take a look at is www.draftingzone.com.

I prefer the ISO standard. wherein I can clearly state the fit (I do not know how the American system achieves this). To achieve this, create a start parts with edit -->setup-->tolsetup-->standard-->ISO/DIN. You can then state the HOLE basis or SHAFT basis tolerances.
