What is the meaning of the different symbols and abbreviations found on engineering drawings?
There are different national and international standards for symbols and abbreviations. You will need to check out the national standards for the drawings you are referring to.
What does ø mean?
In architectural or engineering drawings, it is the symbol for diameter
Need some drawings of engineering.?
Go to an engineering web site such as arcitechture or mechanical engineering
Why work to a recognised standard when producing engineering drawings?
The simplest answer is that working to a standard means that anyone can read the drawing. If there is no standard the symbols used on the drawing (weld type and size, surface finish, even the dimensioning of the components) would vary from one drawing (or draughtsperson) to another and cause confusion. Engineering drawings use a large number of symbols to denote operations and instructions (which reduces the time taken to draw them and the size of "paper" they're drawn on). Imagine the potential problems if one person used a symbol to mean "weld" and another one used the same (or similar) symbol to mean "do not weld".
What is the name of electronic drawings that have symbols?
mlottere
How do you find engineering drawings?
It depends on what type of engineering drawings. If you want cutsheets for equipment, most manufacturers have drawings on their websites. But if you are looking for construction or assembly drawings manufacturers or companies will not have them available outside the company since these would be intelectual property.
Why hatchings and symbols are used in construction drawings?
cus if you draw drawings then you draw draweings alot more often

Leonardo da Vinci used drawings to explore ideas in?

How do contractors build the dome of a church?
They use architectural drawings and engineering plans.
What care and control procedures need to be in place for drawings and specification?
Document control for engineering drawings is comprised of both document attributes and a defined control process.Engineering drawings, including technical documents such as specifications, procedures, will usually have these attributes:Owning organization, which is ultimately responsible for the document content.Document identification through the use of a document numbering systemTitle or descriptionDocument revision or other indication of a specific design iterationAuthor(s), reviewer(s) and/or others who created the informationAnd, of course, the appropriate technical information necessary to fulfill their purposeA document control process consists of a set of procedures for creating and maintaining the attributes of engineering drawings. Engineering drawing management processes include business rules that define:Which engineering drawing types are supported, and the contents and format of each typeHow engineering drawings are identified (e.g., owner, number, revision, title)Who is responsible for creating, reviewing and approving engineering drawingsWhen engineering drawings may be released to interested partiesThe conditions under which existing engineering drawings are revised, replaced or canceledHow obsolete engineering drawings are controlled, recalled or destroyedEngineering drawings that reflect a consistent set of attributes, and are controlled using a documented set of procedures, significantly reduce product costs by simplifying design, sourcing, production, customer adoption and field service. PDXpert PLM software offers these precise advantages.
