Engineering Drawing Checklist for Students

Most marks lost on CAD drawing assignments are the same few omissions: no scale in the title block, a missing overall dimension, hole callouts without a count or depth, a section view without its cut line label, dimensions chained instead of referenced to a datum, a general tolerance note that never got added. This checklist walks through every area of a drawing — title block, views, dimensions, notes and annotations, line quality and layout — and, for assembly drawings, balloons, parts list and key dimensions — with a one-line explanation of what 'good' looks like for each item.

Tick items off as you go and a progress bar shows how complete the drawing is. Choose a single-part or assembly drawing and the ISO or ASME convention. Your progress is saved in your browser, you can copy only the items still missing as a to-do list, and print the page for a final check. It works for Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion, AutoCAD or hand drawings.

Before submitting, you tick 31 of 37 items and the copy button gives a to-do list: 'Scale shown', 'Section cut line labelled', 'Hole callouts', 'General tolerance', 'Break edges note', 'Detail view scale'.

Who uses this tool

Tips for the best results

• Check at the final print size so nothing is too small to read.
• Dimension each feature once, from datums.
• Use a section view instead of dashed lines for internal features.
• State units and tolerance in the title block.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Leaving the scale or units off.
• Chain-dimensioning long strings so errors accumulate.
• Forgetting hole counts and depths in callouts.
