Q: Hi, Gary
I have a few simple questions for you. First one - Can we move the section view from the main view if we want to increase the scale (break the alignment). The second one – Can we use the same letter in Detail View A and datum A for example. The third question -Can we have 2 datums on the same round tube from different ends if the tube is about 500 inches long.
Thank you, Genya
A: 1. You can move the increased section view by stating under the view the increased scale. 2. The same letters may be used for views and datums. Also, the datum letter for the same datum may be repeated throughout the drawing. 3. Different datums may be used on each end of a tube; the length of each datum may need to be stated if it is not clear.
