Dimensioning Rules in Engineering Drawings

[@drdesignz]

This is what I do, but in architectural/structural engineering (in the USA), which is very similar. The general "rules" still apply, but can vary. One thing I do differently (and see it almost always in other's drawings) is a small gap between the extension line and the object. We also align all incremental dimensions and have an overall next to that, and those are on two (X/Y) or all four sides beyond the perimeter of the object (building).

My prof almost slapped me yesterday because I didn't know a lot of these Graphic Standards. Thank you for the vid!

This is an awesome video, I would love to see one that covers use of tolerances for engineering drawings (For use in the machining industry)

Rule #7 and #10 seem to contradict each other.

[@UCjiGe8bQuB-ZlmG_zTcqFow]

They don’t. Rule #7 says to not mix the dimension lines between two perspectives. Rule #10 states you should try to share the lines. You can still follow #7 while following #10!
