Full title and description
AS ISO 128.1-2005 — Technical drawings — General principles of presentation, Part 1: Introduction and index. This Australian Standard is an adoption of ISO 128-1:2003 and specifies general rules for the execution of technical drawings and provides an index and structure for the ISO 128 series of drawing conventions.
Abstract
Gives the general rules for preparing technical drawings and explains the structure and index of the ISO 128 series. It is intended to facilitate international exchange and uniform interpretation of drawings used across disciplines (mechanical, construction, shipbuilding, etc.), and applies to manual and computer-produced 2D drawings (not to 3D CAD models).
General information
- Status: Current (reconfirmed in Australia 15 April 2016).
- Publication date: 05 April 2005 (AS edition/adoption).
- Publisher: Standards Australia.
- ICS / categories: 01.100.01 — Technical drawings in general.
- Edition / version: 1st edition (AS adoption of ISO 128-1:2003; AS ISO 128.1-2005).
- Number of pages: 10 pages (AS text identical in scope to the ISO source document).
Details above are based on the Standards Australia product record and catalog listings for AS ISO 128.1-2005 and the corresponding ISO metadata.
Scope
Sets out the general rules and basic principles for the execution and presentation of technical drawings and provides an index for the other parts of ISO 128. Applicable across disciplines (mechanical engineering, architecture, civil engineering, shipbuilding, etc.) and intended for both manual and computer-based 2D drawings; it does not apply to native 3D CAD models.
Key topics and requirements
- General rules for preparing and presenting technical drawings (layout, basic conventions, purpose and use of the ISO 128 series).
- Index and structure of the ISO 128 parts so users can find applicable detailed rules (e.g., lines, views, sections, leader/reference lines, domain-specific rules).
- Applicability across manual drafting and CAD-produced 2D drawings; emphasis on consistency to support international exchange of drawing information.
- Reference to more detailed parts in the series for line conventions, CAD preparation, and domain‑specific drawing rules.
These topics derive from the AS adoption and the ISO source standard which the AS text reproduces.
Typical use and users
Used by design engineers, draughtspersons, CAD technicians, technical illustrators, document controllers, and educators to ensure consistent presentation of 2D technical drawings. Also used by standards committees and technical publishers as a reference for drafting conventions and for mapping to more detailed parts of the ISO 128 series.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: An Australian adoption (AS ISO 128.1-2005) of the ISO document that sets out the introduction and index for the ISO 128 series: technical drawing presentation rules and the structure of the series.
Q: What does it cover?
A: The standard provides high-level rules for executing and presenting 2D technical drawings and supplies an index and structure for the other, more detailed parts of ISO 128 (for example, rules for lines, views, sections and domain-specific conventions). It applies to manual and computer‑based 2D drawings and is not intended for native 3D CAD models.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Engineers, draughting/CAD staff, technical authors, document controllers, and educators who need a consistent, internationally-aligned basis for producing and interpreting technical drawings.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: AS ISO 128.1-2005 is the Australian adoption of ISO 128-1:2003 and was reconfirmed in Australia in 2016 (listed as current in Australian catalogs). The underlying ISO part has since been revised — ISO 128-1 was republished in 2020 with updated scope and wording — so users should verify whether they must follow the 2005 AS text or the later ISO 128-1:2020 requirements for their specific project or contractual needs.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is Part 1 (Introduction and index) of the ISO/AS ISO 128 series; further parts define detailed conventions (lines, views, sections, CAD line preparation, and domain‑specific rules). The AS edition reproduces the corresponding ISO part.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: technical drawings, presentation, representation, ISO 128, drafting conventions, lines, views, sections, CAD, technical product documentation.
