Discuss the two standard methods of placing dimensions.

What will be an ideal response?


There are two standard methods of placing dimensions. In the older (almost obsolete) method, called the aligned method, each dimension is placed in line with the dimension to which it refers. The second method, the unidirectional method (recommended by ASME), has all numbers or values placed horizontally (one direction), regardless of the direction of the dimension line. All values are read from the bottom.
