- The drawing should include exactly what you need - it needs to include all the dimensions and views in order to make the part, but nothing extra that can clutter the drawing
- Dimension features from one edge (as opposed to hole to hole dimensions) to minimize the error. This edge is called a "datum"
- Dimension lines should not cross
- Place dimensions on the most useful view
- Isometric views are not usually necessary, but they are often included to visualize the finished part
- If there is multiple of a feature, like four 0.25" holes, dimension one as 4x 0.25"
