4. DRAWING NOTATION

4.1 Indication in Title Block

(1) Display a large symbol (Ф12), shown in Table 1, in the designated column in the title block
(IMPORTANT PART SYMBOL column) to indicate an Important-A part or area or Important-B part or
area and Important-C characteristics on drawing.
See Figure 1 below for example.
Figure 1

(2) Display only the Important-A symbol if among Important-A, Important-B and Important-C characteristics
apply to the same drawing.
In the same manner, display only the Important-B part or area if both Important-B characteristics and
Important-C characteristics apply to the drawing.

(3) Display the symbol in the title block of the each divided drawing.

4.2 Indication in Difference Column

Display a small symbol (Ф7), shown in Table 1, in the difference column when Important-A parts,
Important-B parts and Important-C characteristics are among on the same drawing (e.g., on a group
drawing).
See Figure 2 below for example.

4.3 Indication of Characteristic Items and Figures
Use the following method to indicate Important-A, Important-B and Important-C characteristics and
characteristic values on drawings and any other documents related to engineering release.

(1) Enclose the characteristic item and figures in the designated border and display a small symbol (Ф7)
on upper left or upper right corner on the outside of the border.
See Figure 3 below for example.
