American National Standards Institute – a U.S. organization that recommends standards for many products in various industries. Abbreviation: ANSI
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional body, specifically an engineering society, focused on mechanical engineering.
The International Standards Organization - widely known as ISO, is an international-standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.

Dimensions are
rotated on the
vertical plane

Dimension PlacementDimension PlacementExtension lines are located 1/16” off of the object line and extend 1/8” above the arrowhead.
Shorter dimensions are located inside of longer dimension and 3/8” away from the object line.
Longer dimensions are located outside of shorter dimensions and 1/4” away from the dimensions inside.

Dimensioning on ContoursDimensioning on Contours
Views are drawn to describe shapes and features. Dimensions should be given where shapes are drawn.
Incorrect placement of dimensions on the drawing on the right.

Dimensioning DiametersDimensioning Diameters
Full circular objects should be dimensioned using the diameter.
Diameter annotations are represented on drills or bores.
Radii annotations for rounds and fillets.

Remember: dimension between views whenever possible.
Dimensions are too crowded to be represented on right side view .
Diameter dimensions are better represented on left view of this drawing.

Dimensioning Dimensioning CurvesCurves
Curved or noncircular shapes can be dimensioned with coordinate dimensions or datums as illustrated below:
Dimensions should be centered between extension lines except when in a stack. They are then staggered as represented above:

Leader lines can cross object lines and extension lines when necessary as illustrated above.
Notes with leaders are generally placed off of the drawing figure as represented here.

Dimensioning NotesDimensioning Notes
Notes should always be lettered horizontally on the sheet and be brief and clear. Wording should be standard form.

Long Break Line
Long Break Lines are used when it is best to shorten the long view of an object.

Dimension TolerancesDimension TolerancesTolerance stacking is avoided by dimensioning with respect to a datum base–line as illustrated on the right figure. Errors often occur in cumulative dimensions.
A – cumulative tolerances B – base-line dimensioning
