Selecting Views

Hidden Lines
Do we include hidden lines?
Usually They should be used wherever necessary for clearness. They should be left off when they impair clearness. When a section view is used, hidden lines should not be used in that view.
Dimensions
Do we include dimensions?
Usually not As a rule, dimensions are not given on assembly drawings. If dimensions are given, they are limited to some function of the object as a whole.
Identification
Ballooning: A part is located and identified, in an assembly drawing, by using a circle containing the part number and a leader line that points to the corresponding part.
The parts list may be placed in the upper right corner of the drawing. - Part# 1 is at the top.
The parts list may be placed in the lower right corner of the drawing. - Part# 1 is at the bottom.
