Dimensioning Section B

The document provides guidelines for dimensioning holes, chamfers, rounded ends, and general dimensioning practices in technical drawings. It describes using leader lines and notes to dimension small and large holes, and recommends dimensioning chamfers using leader lines and notes indicating the linear distance and angle. Rounded ends should be dimensioned according to the manufacturing method. Recommended practices include not crossing dimension and extension lines, drawing extension lines from nearest points, and placing dimensions outside the view when possible for clarity.
