Y14.5 Drafting 1

[ewh]

Y14.5 lays out some basic drafting guidelines that are usually ignored (even by the standard itself) and somehow don't get the same attention as the GD&T aspect of the standard (understandable since the standards title is Dimensioning and Tolerancing, not Drafting).
Drawings here are mostly peer reviewed as a check, but a new drawing review approval is now required and, while their GD&T understanding is good (due to the plentiful offering of training), there seems to be a problem familiarizing younger (and some older) engineers here with the basics of good drawing practices, from view projection issues to Y14.5 Fundamental Rules.
Are there any on-line or in-person (PNW) training classes covering general drafting rules in ASME (not just Y14.5)?
TIA!

It looks like a good start. Put in an order for the collars, just to be sure. Send 5 people to a course and get 5 different opinions on what they saw.

The class I found is an online one. So the manager can attend too to get a more harmonized opinion.

That will be either 6 opinions or back to having one checker.

Style is another matter. Since there is no dedicated checker here currently, I'd be happy just to get the standards followed a little more closely. They enforce a basic style of their own.
