As 1100.101 1992 Technical Drawing General Principles.pdf

Published by Standards Australia on November 16, 1992, AS 1100.101-1992 is the second edition of a standard that has been decades in the making. It establishes the basic principles of technical drawing practice, covering everything from the specific abbreviations used on a plan to the precise thickness of a hidden detail line.

In 2014, Standards Australia released AS 1100.101:2014. This caused confusion. Is the 1992 version dead? AS 1100.101 1992 Technical drawing General principles.pdf

Yes, the 1992 version is "Withdrawn." Practically: No. Many industries still operate on the 1992 rules. Published by Standards Australia on November 16, 1992,

Third, many government and industrial specifications still mandate compliance. A typical clause might read: “Drawings and all tolerances and dimensions are to AS 1100.101–1992 Technical drawing – General principles” . This requirement applies regardless of whether the drawings are produced using CAD software or manual tools. This caused confusion

One common question is: How does an Australian standard relate to the international ISO system? AS 1100.101—1992 is heavily harmonized with older ISO standards. Specifically, it is to the now-superseded ISO 128:1982 (General principles of presentation) and ISO 129:1985 (Dimensioning). However, because it has been reconfirmed while ISO has moved on to newer revisions (like ISO 128-30:2020), there can be slight variations. Nevertheless, the visual language of an AS 1100 drawing remains largely understandable to any international engineer due to its ISO roots.
