Detail Drawings / Production Drawings
An Engineering Detail Drawing contains the key points to enable the manufacture or description of a single
component that defines and communicates part of a complete design to other interested parties.
Detail Drawing:
An Example
Detail Drawings must enable the Shop to
fabricate the Part
Tolerances : What are the manufacturing tolerances for each part of the component.
Surface texture (or roughness) : How smooth/rough each part of the component has to be.
Treatments (coatings, tempers etc.) : Does the component need protective coatings ?
Reference to assembly drawing : What does my component fit into ?
Material : What material is the component manufactured from ?
Drafter (who drew it), Checker (who checked it), Approver (who approved it) and dates
Zones : Where on the drawing are you referring to ?
Revision : What has been revised and why and what revision is this drawing ?
Sheet Size : A4, A3, A2, A1 or A0
Company : School of Engineering & Physics, University of the South Pacific
Sheets Reference (eg. Sheet 1 of 3) : When more than one sheet is required.
Enough Orthogonal Views
Wall Bracket drawing shows the scale to which the drawing is drawn within the title block as is required by
AS1100. The scale in this case is 1:1 or “Full Size” other preferred scales in the metric system are:
For enlargement: 2:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1
For reduction: 1:2 (half size), 1:2.5, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, 1:500 1:1000, 1:2000, 1:5000, 1:10
000
The Type of Projection (3rd Angle)
Wall Bracket drawing shows the Third Angle Projection Symbol within the title block.
The symbol is sometimes located outside of the title block.
The conical cylinder represents the orientation of views that should be reflected in your drawings.
Drafting Standard AS 1100
The drawing shows its name, WALL BRACKET within the title block. The name or title of the drawing is
the name by which (in this case) the detail drawing is commonly referred to by many parties involved. This
name is not unique.
The drawing number (abbreviated to DRG No) is the part number which is often used to locate or recognise
the part within a database. This number is unique.
There may be many parts that are named “WALL BRACKET”. However, the number of the drawing must be
unique.
Dimensional Units Used
The units used throughout the drawing. In this case millimetres are used.
However other metric or imperial units may be used. E.g. microns, metres, inches or feet.
Centimeters are not used in Engineering Drawings.
Surface Texture or Roughness
The surface texture symbol should be located so that it can be read from the bottom or
right hand side of the drawing.
It’s good practice to specify surface finish of close fitting surfaces of machine
elements
Standard Roughness
Values
Tolerances
Material Conditions
Maximum Material Condition (MMC), M
The treatment or coating that the component is finished to is stated in the title block.
If the process is a company or military standard that is often followed e.g. the aircraft industry, NASA, The
Australian Army, then reference to a standard data sheet is made.
Reference to
Assembly
Drawings
Material
Engineering designs are highly dependent on the material from which they are manufactured.
This is something that must be stated in the drawing as it vital information that must be passed on to the
manufacturer of the part and many other parties.
This information is normally stated in the title block.
If the information is extensive a separate note located in the drawing or a separate data sheet may be used.
