Question
What does a complete manufacturing drawing set contain?
Answer
Dimensioned orthographic views of every part, dimensions from a datum, a stated scale, detail views of joints at a larger scale, and an exploded assembly with numbered parts and a parts list.
Question
Why dimension from a datum?
Answer
Chained dimensions accumulate error along the chain; from a single datum each error stays independent.
Question
What is the completeness test for a drawing set?
Answer
Could somebody who has never seen the prototype build it from these sheets alone, without asking a question? Anything missing becomes a decision somebody else makes for you.
Question
Why is a render not a manufacturing drawing?
Answer
It carries appearance and proportion but no dimensions, scale, sections, materials or parts list — nothing can be cut or ordered from it. Its job is presenting the solution.
