Drafting standards are some of the most commonly use standards available, so when one of the most popular titles is revised it’s an event here at Document Center Inc.! We’re happy to let you know that there are new 2012 editions available for both ASME Y14.1 and ASME Y14.1M on Drawing Sheet Size and Format.
Both standards are on the same topic and both will be available in the new editions as of March 15th of this year. The only difference is that one is for measurements in feet and inches and the other is metric.
ASME Y14.1 2012 Edition, “Decimal Inch Drawing Sheet Size and Format,” defines decimal inch sheet sizes and formats for engineering drawings.
ASME Y14.1M 2012 Edition, “Metric Drawing Sheet Size and Format,” does the same for metric sizes and formats.
Standardization of drawing sizes and the uniform location of format features on drawing forms provides definite advantages in readability, handling, filing, and reproduction. Revision information and dates are of particular importance to users of drawings and should be located and expressed uniformly on all engineering drawings.
In using drawings made by other organizations, an advantage is gained when like items of information are in the same location on all drawings, and when uniformity of form and language is applied in making information entries.
