Abstract
Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) B 0001 (Technical drawings for mechanical engineering) were revised on 20 May 2019. Although many revisions have been made on conventional standards, there still remain errors in terminology, misuse of drawing rules, and difficulty in understanding the standards without careful reading. Students and engineers who are novice at technical drawings start their study without any previous knowledge and assume that JIS contain no errors. This study is conducted to clarify the basic items required for studying technical drawings and a design and drawing education method is proposed as part of the revised standards.
