AS 1100.101 is the foundational standard for technical drafting in Australia. It specifies the general principles for presenting technical drawings, ensuring that a drawing created in Perth is readable by a manufacturer in Sydney. It applies to all fields of engineering (mechanical, civil, structural) and architecture.
– Outlines how to indicate sizes and allowable manufacturing variations (tolerances). Section 9: Repetitive Features AS 1100
To fully understand technical drawing in Australia, it helps to see where Part 101 fits within the broader AS 1100 ecosystem: : General Principles AS 1100.201 (Part 201) : Mechanical Engineering Drawing AS 1100.301 (Part 301) : Architectural Drawing – Outlines how to indicate sizes and allowable
AS 1100.101—1992 is the foundational Australian Standard for technical drawing, providing a "visual language" for design and manufacturing. Spanning over 240 pages, it establishes uniform practices for everything from line weights to dimensioning symbols to ensure clear communication across engineering, architecture, and surveying.
