12.4 Creating a Detail Drawing of the Deck
Each part in your product must have a detail drawing. A detail drawing has all the information
needed to manufacture the part, including dimensions, the material, heat treatment and all other
relevant information. In addition, a detail drawing’s title block will have the part name and part
number, the name of the designer and other information that can help locate old drawings and
the people involved in their design.

template created in the previous

Tolerances
The title block tolerances are the default values and are included in the organization’s drafting
practices manual. They are based on industry practices and manufacturing capabilities. But the best
tolerance is one that insures that the product can be assembled easily and works as designed.
