Trying to change company drawing standard
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I have very recently started at a new company (Small Engineering company). When creating drawings I am finding that there is no industry standard (BS or ASME etc) being followed.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I find creating drawings this way to be poor. It needlessly takes up page space for simple information. For example, a multiple dimension is called out as ‘1.00 THRU TYP. 2 PLCS’[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]When space on a drawing can become critical, and the extra time it takes to type the above into multiple dimensions I really would like to change it.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I would like to change to ASME Y14.5. This would change the same information to: ‘2X 1.00 THRU’ the same can be said for tapped hole where the company currently type out the note instead of using the symbols like; [FONT=Calibri]↓ ( Not 100% correct symbol but you get the picture).[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]To stand any chance of making the change I really need to highlight the problems with the current non standardised approach. Other than what I have said already is there any other reasons as to why making the change would be required?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I plan to create a duplicate drawing but with ASME Y14.5 standards applied and show the additional space and clarity to the drawing that is given but I don’t think it will be enough.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
