ASME Y14.1:2005 pdf download Decimal Inch Drawing Sheet Size and Format
1GENERAL1.1 Scope
This Standard defines decimal inch sheet size andformats for engineering drawings.Metric sheet sizes andformat are defined in ASME Y14.1M. For engineeringdrawing preparation and practices, see ASME Y14.100.1.2 Purpose
Standardization of drawing sizes and the uniformlocation of format features on drawing forms providesdefinite advantages in readability, handling, filing, andreproduction. In using drawings made by other organi-zations, an advantage is gained when like items of infor-mation are in the same location on all drawings, andwhen uniformity of form and language is applied inmaking information entries. Revision information anddates are of particular importance to users of drawingsand should be located and expressed uniformly on allengineering drawings.
The widespread use and exchange of reduced sizecopies of drawings both within and between organiza-tions emphasizes the importance of standardization ofdrawing size and format.

1.5 Definitions
The following definitions were extracted verbatimfrom ASME Y14.100.
assembly: a number of parts or combination thereof thatare joined together to perform a specific function andsubject to disassembly without degradation of any ofthe parts (e-g-, power shovel-front, fan assembly, audio-frequency amplifier).
NOTE: The distinction between an assembly and a subassembly isdetermined by individual application.An assembly in one instancemay be a subassembly in another instance where it forms a portionof a higher assembly.
associated list: a tabulation of engineering informationpertaining to an item depicted on an engineering draw-ing or by a set of drawings (e.g-. parts, data, index, wire,and application lists).
Commercial and Gooerrrnent Entity (CAGE) Code: a five-character code that provides a unique activity identifierused by the government for activity identification.Thismethod of activity identification has also been widelyadopted by industry; CAGE Codes are listed in Catalog-ing Handbook H4/H8.Cataloging Handbook H4/H8 isavailable at the Defense Logistics Services Center, DLSC-USS,Federal Center，74NiWashington Ave. N,Ste 7,Battle Creek,MI 49017-3084.
contract: a mutually binding legal relationship obligatingthe seller to furnish the supplies or services (includingconstruction) and buyer to pay for them. It includesall types of commitments that obligate the procuringactivity to an expenditure of appropriated funds andthat, except as otherwise authorized, are in writing. Inaddition to bilateral instruments, contracts include, butare not limited to, awards and notices of awards; joborders or task letters issued under basic orderingagreements; letter contracts; orders,such as purchaseorders, under which the contract becomes effective bywritten acceptance or performance; and bilateral con-tract modifications.
contractor: an individual, partnership, company, corpora-tion, association, or other service having a contract forthe design, development, manufacture,maintenance,modification, or supply of items under the terms of acontract.
copy: any reproduction or duplication, in any media, ofan original.
design activity: an organization that has, or has had,responsibility for the design of an item.
current design activify: the design activity currentlyresponsible for the design of an item. This may be theoriginal design activity or a design activity to which thedesign responsibility has been transferred.
original design activity: the design activity originallyresponsible for the design and identification of an itemwhose drawing number and activity identification isshown in the title block of the drawings and associateddocuments.
design activify identification: the application of a uniqueidentifier that distinguishes an activity or organizationfrom another activity or organization. Examples of activ-ity identification include activity name, activity address,or CAGE Code.
digital data: data stored on a computer system thatemploys a display on which the user and the computerinteract to create or alter entities for the production oflayouts, drawings, numerical control tapes, or otherengineering data.
document: a term applicable to the specifications,draw-ings,lists,standards, pamphlets,reports, and printed,typewritten, or otherwise created information relatingto the design, procurement, manufacture, testing, oracceptance inspection of items or services.
drawing: an engineering document or digital data file(s)that discloses (directly or by reference), by means ofgraphic or textual presentations, or by combinations ofboth, the physical or functional requirements of an item.drazving format: the arrangement and organization ofinformation within a drawing. This includes such fea-tures as the size and arrangement of blocks, notes, lists,and revision information and use of optional or supple-mental blocks.
engineering dafa: engineering documents such as draw-ings, associated lists, accompanying documents, specifi-cations, standards, or other information prepared orused by a design activity and relating to the design,manufacture, procurement, testing, or inspection ofitems.
ifem: a nonspecific term used to denote any unit or prod-uct including materials, parts,assemblies, equipment,accessories, and computer software.
original: the current design activity’s drawing on whichthe official revision record is kept.
