ASME Y14.35M; Revision of Engineering Drawings and Associated Documents.
This Standard
defines the practices of revising drawings, associated documentation, and establishes methods for
identification and recording revisions. The revision practices of this Standard apply to any form of
original drawing and associated documentation.
Fundamentals
Engineering Drawing Practices
Drawing Practices
Drawing practices associated with drawing changes shall be consistent with those already used on the
drawing to be revised unless the latest of applicable standards can be incorporated without conflict.
Any change to a drawing after release, including a change to Rights in Data, shall be recorded in the
Revision History Block.
1.
Revision Methods
Changes may be made by adding, deleting, or crossing out the information or by re-drawing the
drawing.
2.
Re-Drawn Drawings
Depending on the circumstances, drawing may be redrawn either with or without change.
1) With Change (Revision letter is advanced)
When a revision warrants re-drawing of the drawing, the revision letter next in sequence shall be
entered in the REV column of the Revision History Block of the new drawing.
Depending on the circumstances, drawing may be redrawn either with or without change.
2) Without Change (Advance of revision letter is not required)
When a drawing, or a sheet of a drawing, is to be replaced because of loss, destruction, or degradation
due to age it may be re-drawn without change. The replacement shall duplicate the requirements of the
old original which is being replaced.
3.
Superseding a Drawing with that of a Different Number

a. Superseding (New) Drawing.
When a drawing is superseded by a drawing with a different number, the notation REPLACES WITH CHANGE
DRAWING (Enter superseded drawing number) REV (Enter superseded revision letter or if no revision enter a
[dash]) shall be entered in the DESCRIPTION columns of the superseding drawing.
No entry is required in the REV letter, DATE or APPROVED Column. New Title Block Approval entries apply.
b. Superseding (Old) Drawing.

When the superseded drawing will be retained, the notation REPLACED WITH CHANGE BY DRAWING (Enter
the superseding drawing number) REV (Enter the revision letter of the superseding drawing or if no revision,
enter a [dash]) shall be entered in the DESCRIPTION column of the superseded drawing.
4.
Revisions of Digital Data
Revisions of digital data files and copies of digital data files shall not be considered re-draws except when the
document is converted from a manually maintained to a digitally maintained document.
1) Identifying Revisions on Drawings

Revision Letters.
Upper case letters shall be used in sequence beginning with A and omitting letters I, O, Q,
S, X, and Z.
When the single letters have been exhausted, the revisions following Yshall be AA,
ABthrough AY.
Should AAto AYbe exhausted the next sequence shall be BA, BBthrough BY.
Revision letters shall not exceed two characters.
Initial issue of a drawing does not constitute need for a revision letter and may be indicated by
the use of a [dash].
Revision Locations.
When incorporating a change or replacing the drawing with change, a revision location shall be
identified by one or more of the following methods;
Revision symbol in the field of the drawing;
Description in the Revision History Block;
Zone locations in the ZONE Column of the Revision History Block;
Revision authorization document identified in the DESCRIPTION orother dedicated column of the
0
Multiple Changes.
All changes authorized by a single revision authorizations document shall be incorporated

into the document at the same time. All changes to a drawing incorporated at one time shall
be identified by the same revision letter if the revision letter is assigned at the time the
changes are incorporated.
Sequence Number Use. When a revision involves two or more individual changes on a drawing, each
change may be identified by a sequence number enclosed in parentheses preceding the description of
the change.

Identifying Revisions on Drawings

Revision Locations. When incorporating a change or replacing the drawing with change, a
revision location shall be identified by one or more of the following methods;
Revision symbol in the field of the drawing;
Description in the Revision History Block;
Zone locations in the ZONE Column of the Revision History Block;
Revision authorization document identified in the DESCRIPTION orother dedicated column of the
Recording Revisions
Changes to drawings shall be recorded in the Revision History Block. The Revision History Block
format shall be in accordance with ASME Y14.1.
5.
Revision Control
Revisions may be by;
Drawing Level Method

Sheet Level Method; or by
All Sheets Same Revision Level Method.
6.
Associated Document Revisions
Associated documents (DL, IDL, AL, PL, WL, IL) are revised in the same manner as for any other
revision to a drawing. Associated documents may be revised as a separate document. See ASME
Y13.34 for associated list preparation requirements.

Associated documents need not be revised for the sole purpose of maintaining a common revision
level.
ASME Y14.100; Engineering Drawing Practices. This Standard establishes the essential requirements
and reference documents applicable to the preparation and revision of engineering drawings and
associated lists. It is essential that this Standard be used in close conjunction with ASME Y14.24,
ASME Y14.34M, and ASME Y14.35M.

Digital Data
Engineering drawings prepared by other than manual means (such as computer generated drawings) shall
provide all of the information required by the particular drawing type or level of design disclosure. Variations to
accommodate document preparation will be acceptable so long as these variations meet the requirements
relative to the information contents.
19.
Scale
Scale expresses the ratio of the size of the object as drawn to its full size. Drawings shall be drawn to a scale
that depicts all details of the item clearly and accurately.
Drawings Not to Scale: In the case of diagrams, pictorials, cable assemblies, tabulated and other drawings not
prepared to any scale, the word NONE shall be entered after SCALE in the space provided on the drawing
format.
20.
Drawing Notes
Drawing notes provide information that clarifies the requirements for the item delineated. They apply to a
portion either of the drawing or to the entire drawing providing additional treatment, finish, protection, and other
considerations.
The Notes area of a drawing shall be identified with the heading NOTES
21.
Metric Practices
The measurement system in which the part, item, or any of its features is designed shall be used in the
documentation for that part, item or feature.
22.
Drawing Titles
General Rules:
The title shall be as brief as possible, describe the item, and distinguish between similar items.
The title shall consist of a noun or noun phrase (basic name).
The noun or noun phrase establishes the basic concept of an item.
The noun or noun phrase shall be used in singular form, except for items such as Tongs, Gloves, and
Fuses.
An ambiguous noun is not used alone;
Preferred
CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
When an item is neither container nor material, but its name involves the use of a noun that ordinarily
designates a container or material, a noun phrase shall be used, for example;
Preferred
JUNCTION BOX
SOLDERING IRON
23.
Not Preferred
ASSEMBLY, CIRCUIT CARD
BOARD, PRINTED CIRCUIT
Not Preferred
BOX, JUNCTION
IRON, SOLDERING
Abbreviations should be avoided

The title shall be consistent with the title of the next assembly
When titles are used on continuation sheets, the title shall be the same on each sheet.
Reference to major assemblies or end items shall not be used except when necessary to differentiate
similar items.
Nonpart drawings, such as schematic diagrams, shall include the drawingtype as part of the title, for
example; TRANSFORMER ASSY, SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Numbering, Coding, and Identification
Drawing Numbers
Drawing numbers consist of numeric, alpha, or special characters, or combinations thereof. Spaces
are not used between any of the elements of a drawing number.

Although there is no National Consensus limitations on drawing number length, many drawing number
systems limit themselves to 15 characters (including the base number, and any required prefixes,
suffixes, and separators).
Part or Identifying Number
The Part or Identifying Number (PIN) is an identification assigned by the original design activity or by
the controlling nationally recognized standard for the purpose of uniquely identifying a specific item.
The PIN does not include the drawing revision identifier, drawing size, or activity identification.
A widely recognized limitation on PIN number length is 32 characters.
24.
Markings on Drawings
Markings are used in support of, and in addition to, graphics and text to convey information about the
drawing, the list, or items depicted thereon.
