Last week for Standards Tuesday I introduced you to the application of dimensions per Section 1.7 of ASME Y14.5M-1994. If you missed it I highly recommend you go back and read it, Standards Tuesday - Application of Dimensions, since it covers such important topics such as Dimension Lines, Extension lines and spacing of dimensions. Today we will finish up Section 1.7 before we move on to Dimensioning Features next week. For the sake of full disclosure, I must tell you that all my post in regards to Standards Tuesday are merely my interpretation of the standards. I take special care in ensuring that I understand each section described in the standards before making my write up. To make it easier on those who are reading their own copy of the standard while reading my post, I try to maintain the same section headings with my own description of each. With that said, let us move on to the exciting parts.

With a show of hands, how many are guilty of faking leaders in drawings? How many times have you or someone you love made a copy of a balloon or annotation and placed it on top of another? Just for the second or third leader, you sacrifice the integrity of the drawing. Come on, be honest. Did you shutter a little after doing it? This is the time to be honest. I, myself am guilty of the horrendous crime, that was before I saw the light. That was before someone smacked me upside the head and grumbled “What’s wrong with you?”
