Last week I wrote about Drawing Notes for Standards Tuesday, I hope you found the information helpful. There were a couple of things I didn’t get a chance to cover because I wanted to limit the size of the post. If you missed it, make sure you read Standards Tuesday - Drawing Notes. What I wasn’t able to discuss was language requirements per ASME Y14.100 in regards to Drawing Notes.

After the drawing number, title and revision, the Drawing Notes are usually the next thing the someone will look at on a print. The drawing notes provide more information then what is normally provided by the drawing itself. The notes can be used to better describe the part, provide information about finishes, describe inspection requirements or just provide more information to the machinist. Usually if the dimensions alone do not tell the whole story then the notes will provide the rest.

What is the first thing you look at on a drawing? The drawing title. This week for “Standards Tuesday” we will be talking about the drawing titles as there are described in ASME Y14.100. Since one the very first things anybody looks at on a drawing is the title, I figured this is the best place to start. I would bet that you were not aware that there was a procedure for drawing titles per ASME standards. Judging by some of the titles I have seen in my career, it seems that no one is aware of these procedures. Section 5 of ASME Y14.100 lays out the procedures for creating titles for engineering drawings and the items they describe.
