Co-ordinationSectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.  \nIt has been found desirable to codify the numerous architectural and building drawing office practicesfollowed in the various architectural and civil engincering departments,so that the drawings preparedin any office can be read without fear of misinterpretation.The purpose of this code is to establishcertain conventions,in order to avoid confusion,increase speed and achieve quick identificationwherever this is reasonably possible.  \nThis standard was originally published in 1967.The present revision has been undertaken with a viewto updating the contents of the standard.The revision takes into account international drawingpractices.In this present revision recommendations_with regard to sizes of drawings,scales,linework,lettering and dimensioning and nomenclature of buildings have been aligned with internationalpractice.  \nConsiderable assistance has becn derivcd in the formulation of this code from the following standardspublished by the International Organization for Standardization:  \nISO 2595:1973Building drawings一Dimensioning of
