Drawing best practices in industry complement established standards to ensure clarity, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in communication. Modern manufacturing often derives all dimensions from 3D models, so 2D drawings focus mainly on critical inspection dimensions—those measurable with hand metrology tools like calipers, micrometers, and pin gauges. Practices include: placing dimensions outside the model, avoiding hidden lines, consolidating repeated feature callouts, specifying thread details, and clearly communicating assembly intent. Optional or secondary operations, material details, and non-critical tolerances are best omitted during early development to reduce cost and complexity. Tabular dimensioning is used for multiple similar features, and over-dimensioning or specifying tolerances beyond standard tool accuracy is discouraged.

Interpretation of Drawings involves understanding the title block, projection methods (orthographic, perspective), section and exploded views, projection/dimension lines, and industry-specific symbols. These symbols and notations help identify tolerances, finishes, materials, and assembly requirements. Following both standards and best practices ensures consistent, uniform, and effective engineering communication across industries and geographies.
