Need advise on dimensioning

[vinod]

Here I am attaching Screenshot of dimensioning.

Please advise which one is standard for showing repeated dimensions?

Here we use the first way. But you should open a book to see your local standards.

[nocturne00]

Im not sure on standards coz honestly there a several ways.ive only seen these ways on some textbooks

 

1. you can just dimension one bay with 2800 TYP.

or

2. Place an Overall Dimension 11200, and dimension the indivudual bays with text EQL.

 

or you could combine both ^_^

 

well this is IMhO anyway.

check out what the rest would say

I'd go with option 2 as stated by nocturne00 above.

[Enigma]

I would do it similar to your option 1, but the dimension would read more like "4 Bays @ 2800=11200"

[ReMark]

Looks like we got a tie. Who's going to be the tie-breaker?

 

By the way, what field are you working in? It may have some bearing on the answer.

[cpriedel]

O.o I cant decided. I like nocturne00s "2800 Typ." and Enigmas

"4 Bays @ 2800=11200".

I always try to make as less dimensions as possible with the most info possible. But ultimatly its up to the drafter (or boss) to decide how to present the necessary information.

Fence-sitter. I suppose you carry a two-headed coin just to keep "tails" from coming up when you flip it.

[cpriedel]

My my, ReMark is pushy today

Well i guess i have to make a decision than huh???

 

I personally would go with "2800 Typ." Its the shortest and most efficent. Somebody else can count the Bays and do the math IMO.

 

Happy ReMArk??? LOL

[ReMark]

I really like take charge people like you. Decision makers rule! LOL

[dumfatnhappy]

I'd go with option 2 as stated by nocturne00 above.

 

 

been in the biz for *many* years...

 

 

never seen an x# in a string in my life.....

 

whatever THAT'S worth........

course.....I rule in inches anyway.............

[ReMark]

Again, it all depends on the field one works in, the company standards and/or the standards as set forth in such respected books like Architectural Graphics Standards, Engineering Drawing or Basic Technical Drawing, or the equivalent in the country one works in.

above dim line 11,200

below dim line 5 holes spaced evenly

 

You are diminsioning the location of 5 holes not 4 spaces.

 

MHO

I would tend to do it this way, saves any confusion.

Five numbers holes mensioned at 2 places. Is it required ?

If you put 250 in all bay, that "5 holes@250 ctrs=100" is not required.

Am I right ?

[nocturne00]

I would tend to do it this way, saves any confusion.

 

Dimensioning like that would be a bit too redundant dont you think?

[dbroada]

I tend to use something like - 4 equal 250,0 pitches =

 

which leaves AutoCAD to fill in the overall dimension (in this case 1000)
