Drawing of a mechanically welded frame

Hello

I am a beginner on Solidworks and I have to make a drawing for a mechanically welded frame composed of 60x60x5 square tube, I know well how to dimension a normal part but I have never dimensioned a metal structure, are there standards? How do you proceed? Do you have any tips to give me? Should we dimension between tubes? Between axes? I thank in advance the people who will take their time to enlighten me.

When I was doing them, I always dimensioned between tube shafts and I added for information the overall dimensions.

Hello, a little complement, or advice, put yourself in the place of the person who has to make the part, and always say to yourself: can I do it??? What do I need??? "

Good luck

We dimension between the faces of the tubes (for square) then classic machining dimension with 1 stock start per direction.
