A set of related drawings may be laid out in a vertical,
horizontal, or grid format. In planning the layout for a

etween the
sheets or panels.
• Maintain h
orizontal continuity across sheet s with a
ground lineor by the alignment of drawing titles.
• Do not includeunnecessary dimensions or employ borders
and title blocks; we reserve t hese conventions for
construction or working drawings.
• When a presentation consists of more tha none sheet or
board, ident ify each panel by a number. This information
shou ld be inthe same relative position on each p
anel.
• If the pa nels of apresentation are to be displayed in a
specific manner, you can use more graphic m
eans t o
identify the relative posit ion of each panel in t hedisplay.
