Technical drawing standard

2D plans
1

Hello 

One of the clients came to us one day with a requirement concerning the way and information that a quote (annotation) must comply with (indicate) <see attachment >.

So I answered directly that it's not possible (under solidworks) since according to him it's not debatable (either it's all he knew or the software he is used to working with !?), even if I knew that some software offers combinations of this kind (quotation without sideline or rappel, Center distance with drilling diameter in a single line, welding symbols not present in Solidworks even after choosing the right standard.... Etc), and (between us) it's even possible to do them with solidworks in a lot of ways but not easily and especially not for project projects with hundreds of parts concerned per project,

And so I ask myself the question, the technical drawing is governed by what? Norms, guides, standards...? What are your references? ,

I mean, in this situation, and if I showed him the "ISO standard I don't know what" where the linear dimension is defined by a value, line of attachment with given thickness.... Etc, that would have been the best answer, not to mention the types of overall drawings, definitions.. Etc

(thanks in advance).

it's probably so as not to disturb their internal functioning (work habit)

I'm not even sure that on the logs of frameworks such as Tekla 

It exists 

for the standards of drawing and dimensioning it is the GDI of knight among others

There are standards and rules of the art.
It is also sometimes said that the customer is always right.

The example you give is from a framework plan. This is a very special field.
If there are many parts, a lot of projects at stake, it may be worth finding solutions to respond positively to the customer.

Hello

There is also the MEMOTECH metal structures.

Hello@ahmed15bout

I feel like the attached picture plan is a bit dated, it looks like an old handmade plan.

look at this which seems to me to be more topical and also MEMOTECH reported by @TP. It would not be useless to refer also to NF DTU 32.1 "Steel framework".

Kind regards

In fact, what your client is asking for is quite simple to do on SolidWorks. It's very typical of a metal framework.

To dimension, you simply have to attach on your profiles an annotation that includes: A ref then the section followed by its length. All this information is related to the properties of welded parts so it is feasible.

Example in these cases: Ref C15, Profile L 50x5 , length 2828 mm
