Sheet Layouts

Useful sheet size and title block information is shown here. All of the dimensions are in inches except for Fig. VII, where the example on the right is in millimeters and shows a typical tolerance block for a metric drawing.

Most CAD systems provide standard title blocks that you can insert automatically. Use layouts similar to these or blocks available in your CAD system as assigned by your instructor. If assigned, use the proportions shown here and design your own custom title block that provides the necessary information.
