 Steps to Prepare a Production Drawing
As stated earlier, modern manufacturing begins with a 3D CAD model. Most 3D CAD software has an
interface for technical drawing that allows you to very easily create a technical drawing based on an existing
card model. This interface usually features all you need to create views and annotate, dimension, and apply
tolerance to your drawing, eliminating the need to design the views from scratch.
There are also software programs that enable you to create technical drawings without a 3D model. The
following are the steps you need to take, together with some tips, to prepare the perfect technical drawing.

Step 1. Select your template

There are standard ASTM, DIN, and ISO templates that specify the coordinates, angle of projection, and
title block characteristics. You can also create a custom template, but take note to include all the necessary
details in the title block.
If you prefer to have your custom template, design the same through attributes in AutoCAD.

Step 2. Place your orthographic views, centering them as much as possible

Remember to leave sufficient space between them to add dimensions. Avoid excessive use of hidden lines
as these can make the drawing confusing and disorganized.

Step 3. Add detail and/or section views accordingly

If the part is highly complex, has hidden features, or has difficult to dimension areas.

Step 4. Add the isometric view

The isometric view isn’t always necessary but should be included whenever there is space and if the part
geometry is too complex to easily interpret from only the orthographic views.

Step 5. Place construction lines

Such as centerlines, center marks, and cutting lines on all the views.

Step 6. Add dimensions to your drawings
Focus on the vital dimensions on the orthographic and detail views. Ensure that all the dimension lines and
figures are clearly visible and do not cross each other or the drawing. The image below shows dimensions
placed on the orthographic, detail, and section views. The dimensions are numbered for identification.

FIG 1.1Drawing with dimensions

Dimensions are very important aspects of a technical drawing.

Step 7. Specify the location, length and size of all holes and thread
We recommend using standard-sized holes in your design as these can easily be drilled in after machining.
Numbers 5 and 12 in the image below specify a thread and a hole, respectively.

 FIG 1.2Drawing with holes and thread locations

Holes may include counterbores or countersinks. Dimensioning all the aspects of a hole is tedious, and
so callouts are used instead. A typical hole callout specifies the hole depth and diameter, the number of
identical holes, and the presence of a counterbore or countersinks, along with the depth of these features.
Threads should also be of standard thread sizes and also need to be specified.

Step 8. Add tolerances to critical features

For the features that require higher tolerances than those defined by the ISO-2768 medium tolerance
standard. Similar to dimensions, tolerance plays a vital role in the end use of a part and should be very
carefully applied.
Tolerances specify a range of acceptable deviations from the values of a dimension. There are various types
of tolerances that may be applied to a technical drawing. These include bilateral tolerances, unilateral
tolerances, interference tolerances, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).

Step 9. Fill the title block
Make sure that all basic and technical details are included.

After creating it, export the finished technical drawing in the PDF file format to be uploaded during your
order placement on our Instant Quoting Engine.
