What are the standard practices you follow in your company regarding Isometric Views:
1. On every drawing.
2. Do not use it at all.
3. If only on some drawings what is the typical %ge of drawings in an assembly.
What are the standard practices you follow in your company regarding Parts lists:
1. Parts list on drawing of every assembly even if it is going to be used as sub-assembly or only on main assembly?
2. Parts list in the drawing sheet or exclusively on a separate sheet.
