A Simple Guide to Dimensions

A Simple Guide to Dimensions

 

With the left side of the block composed solely of "radiuses" (radii) - as shown here, we break our rule that we should not duplicate dimensions. The total length is known because the radius of the curve on the left side is given. Then, for clarity, we add the overall length of 60 and we note that it is a reference (REF) dimension.
This means that it is not really required.

Somewhere on the paper, usually the bottom, there should be placed information on what measuring system is being used (e.g. inches and millimetres) and also the scale of the drawing.
