Drawing Checklist
Use this to ensure completeness of your drawings. Remember that your drawing should be easy to understand
and specify everything one needs to make or assemble the design. If you think something may be ambiguous,
add additional details and/or notes for clarity.
Views are arranged in the correct (first/third-angle) orientation
Hidden lines are shown except where they obscure the view
Tangent lines are omitted unless needed for clarity
All features of the part are shown in true size in at least one view
Location and size given for all features
Features are fully-defined but not over-defined
Critical dimensions are toleranced
Non-critical features provided with looser tolerances
Dimension and tolerance precisions match
Precision of non-toleranced (i.e. using title block tolerance) dimensions are chosen appropriately
A tolerance stack has been performed to ensure that all tolerances selected are appropriate
Dimensioning to hidden lines is avoided
Center lines/marks added for revolved and symmetrical features
No dimension lines are crossing
Dimensions are placed outside the view
Quantity (i.e. 6X) noted for patterns of features
Use of TYP is unambiguous
Reference dimensions provided where needed or requested (i.e. overall dimensions)
Diameter symbols added to cylindrical bosses, holes, and arcs greater than 180 degrees
Radius symbol added to fillets, rounds, and arcs less than 180 degrees
Material (alloy, heat treat, and specification) noted on drawing or referenced in BOM
Coatings noted on drawing or referenced in BOM
Location for coating masking (if any) noted
Critical finishes noted
Notes indicating non-obvious critical/sealing surfaces that must be free of scratches
Basic edge break requirements are conveyed with a note instead of dimensions on the face of the drawing.
Marking instructions and location provided if required
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing applied where needed
Basic dimensions are used where needed
Have I given the machinist everything they need to make this part?
Is this drawing clear?
