    Zoning is a system of numbers along the top and bottom margins and letters along the left and right margins. ASME standards recommend zoning for all sheets, but as an option for A, B, and A4 sizes. Zoning allows the drawing to read like a road map. For example, you can refer to the location of a specific item as D4, which means that the item can be found at or near the intersection of D across and 4 up or down. PTS: 1 2.

    13. List the four classes of size tolerances identified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard ISO 2768, General Tolerances that generally controls unspecified tolerances for metric dimensions. ANS: ISO 2768 tolerancing is based on the size of features. Small sizes have closer tolerances and larger sizes have larger tolerances. There are four classes of size tolerances including fine (f), medium (m), coarse (c), and very coarse (v). PTS: 1 14. How is size tolerances identified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard ISO 2768, General Tolerances specified on a drawing?

Describe and give another name for the Revision History block, and specify the preferred ASME location on the drawing. ANS: The Revision History block, also called the revision block, is used to record changes to the drawing and is located in the upper right corner of sheet borderlines. PTS: 1 16. Give another name for the revision history block and identify its typical location on a print, and indicate how the revision history block is displayed when the content exceeds the available space. ANS: The Revision History block , also called the revision block, is used to record changes to the drawing and is located in the upper right corner of sheet borderlines, though some companies use other placement. You must reserve room in the right portion of the sheet, below the revision block, to add drawing revision information when necessary. When the revision content exceeds the space available, add a supplemental Revision History block to the left of the original revision block. PTS: 1
