Projection Methods: Australia primarily utilizes Third Angle Projection. The standard provides the geometric rules for how a 3D object is flattened into 2D views (top, front, and side) so that any technician can mentally reconstruct the object accurately. Dimensioning and Tolerancing
In Australia, is the standard. The document details how to layout front, top, and side views so that the spatial relationship of the object is crystal clear. 4. Dimensioning and Tolerancing
This paper examines AS 1100.101—1992, the Australian Standard for general principles of technical drawing. It traces the standard’s origins from British Standard BS 308, its alignment with ISO 128, and its application across engineering, architecture, and design. The paper analyses key sections: drawing scales, line types, lettering, projection methods (first-angle vs. third-angle), dimensioning, and sheet layout. It also discusses the standard’s practical limitations, its supersession by AS 1100.101:2016, and the shift to digital drafting (CAD). The paper argues that AS 1100.101—1992 was critical in unifying technical communication in Australia but now serves primarily as a historical baseline for understanding modern geometric product specification (GPS) standards.
This standard serves as the first part of a broader series, acting as the "General Principles" guide that other specialized parts—such as Mechanical (Part 201) or Architectural (Part 301)—build upon. 1. Presentation and Layout
When searching for AS 1100.101—1992, you will often see it listed as "AS 1100.101-1992 (R2014)". The "R2014" designation indicates that the standard was . This is a crucial concept for any professional. A reconfirmation means that the standard's technical committee reviewed the 1992 edition and found that it was still current, relevant, and did not require any amendments or a full revision. Therefore, even though it was published in 1992, it remains the official, current standard today. This long life is a testament to the quality and foresight of its original authors.
