5. Drawings shall be sufficiently large to show the inventions very clearly and the dimensions need not be marked on the drawings.
6. Drawings need to be sequentially or subsequently numbered and shall bear the name of the applicant on the left-hand top corner and in the right-hand top corner the number of the drawing sheets and the consecutive number of each sheet and in the right-hand bottom corner the signature of the applicant and his agent.
7. You should keep in mind the descriptive matters, that shall appear only on the drawings and not in the flow diagrams.

Do these specifications need to be mentioned in the other field of drawings also?

Mechanical system drawing is a type of technical drawings that shows the required information if we talk the same in compliance with the heating, ventilating, air conditioning and transportation around the building. It is one of the most powerful tools that does help in analysing the complex system. These drawings are also the set of detailed drawings that are also used for construction works. After the mechanical drawings get complete, they do become part of the construction design which can thereby use for a building permit.

What are the other types of drawings?

Arrangement drawings: – These drawings include information about the self-contained units that make up the system such as table of parts, fabrication, detailed drawings, overall dimensions and the information that is required to install the system. Assembly drawings: – These typically include three orthographic views of the system such as overall dimension, weight and mass, identifying all the components quantities of materials that does include the list of reference drawings and the notes. Detailed drawings: – If we do talk about the detailed drawings, the components that are helpful in building up the mechanical system are described in some of the details just to show that some of the designer’s specification are met such as relevant codes, standards, geometry, weight, mass, material heat treatment requirments, surface textures, size tolerances and geometric tolerances. Fabrication drawings: – Fabrication drawings are composed of many different parts that does make up the fabrication. In this list we do identify the different parts such as (balloons and leader lines) and also the complex details are included such as the welding details, material standards, codes, tolerances and details about heat/stress treatments.
