The title block should lie within the drawing
space such that, the location of it, containing the
identification of the drawing, is at the bottom
right hand corner. This must be followed, both
for sheets positioned horizontally or vertically
(Fig. 2.2).
The direction of viewing of the title block
should correspond in general with that of the
drawing. The title block can have a maximum
length of 170 mm. Figure 2.3 shows a typical title
block, providing the following information:
(i) Title of the drawing
(ii) Sheet number
(iii) Scale
(iv) Symbol, denoting the method of projection
(v) Name of the firm
(vi) Initials of staff drawn, checked and approved.
NOTE According to Bureau of Indian Standards, SP-46:1998, Engineering Drawing Practice
for Schools and Colleges, First angle projection is preferred.
2.2.4 Borders and Frames
Borders enclosed by the edges of the trimmed sheet and the frame, limiting the drawing space,
should be provided with all sheet sizes. It is recommended that these borders have a minimum
width of 20 mm for the sizes A0 and A1 and a minimum width of 10 mm for the sizes A2, A3
and A4 (Fig. 2.4). A filing margin for taking perforations, may be provided on the edge, far left
of the title block.
