09 Working Drawings
Working drawings can be classified into two types: detail drawing and
assembly drawing.
Detail drawings provide complete information of each part of a
machine whereas an assembly drawing provided information
regarding proper positions of the parts for the proper functioning of
the machine. Engineering Drawing II 2
2. Detail Drawing
Any detail drawing consists of information regarding shape, size,
tolerances, manufacturing process, etc of each part of a machine.
Shape Description
Shape of any part is described generally by a number of
orthographic views. The number of views depends upon the natural
of the object.
For example, for a simple cylindrical object, a single view may be
sufficient but for other objects two or more views may be required.
Similarly, for some objects, sectional views, auxiliary views or
enlarged views may also be necessary.

Size Description
Size of any part is specified by the proper dimensioning.
Dimensioning should be provided such that any calculation is not
required. Tolerances on size, form and position tolerances of each part
should also be specified.
Other Specifications
Information related to materials, heat treatment, surface finish, etc can
also be added to the part drawing. If these features are common to all
parts, then they can be placed near the tittle block whereas if these
features are different for different parts theses should be placed any
suitable location near the part drawing.

Additional Information
The information regarding name of the part, serial number of the
part, required number of the parts in a machine should also be
provided on each part drawing. Similarly, scale used and projection
system followed should also be provided. If these are common to all
parts, they can be included in the title block and should be
mentioned for each part if different scales are used for different
parts. Name of the designer, drafter, approving person and date of
approval should also be included in the title block.

3. Assembly Drawing
A drawing prepared to show the relative positions of every parts of
a machine is called an assembly drawing. Although detail
dimensioning of each part is not essential in an assembly drawing,
sometimes overall dimension of the assembled machine, distance
between different parts are shown in the assembly drawing.

4. Bill of Materials
To provide complete information for manufacturer, a bill of
material should be attached with the assembly drawing. Bill of
materials is presented in tabular form with separate columns for S.
No., description/name of each part, required number of each part
and remarks for any other additional information.
This table can be placed at the top of the sheet or at the bottom with
the title block. If it is placed at the top, its sequence should be from
top to bottom and if the table is placed at the bottom, its sequence
should be from bottom to top.

5. General Guidelines for Preparing Assembly Drawing
Following general guidelines should be followed to prepare an
assembly drawing:
1. Understand the function of the machine as well function of each
part, which will help to determine the relative position of each
part.
2. Relate external and internal features of each part. For example,
match internal thread and external threads, hole and shaft, etc
having same size.
