How to correctly specify standard and non-standard threads in a technical drawing?
I
For a machined part that has both standard and non-standard thread types, what’s the best way to call out threads in the technical drawing? In particular, should I use thread callouts or full detail views? and how do you balance thread specification clarity vs over-detailing when many features exist?
