Question: 1 / 50

What information does an assembly drawing typically lack?

Material specifications

Enough dimensions for complete fabrication

An assembly drawing is primarily focused on showing how parts fit together within an assembly rather than providing complete fabrication details. While it may include some dimensions, its main purpose is not to deliver extensive dimensional specifications necessary for the fabrication of each individual part. Instead, assembly drawings often emphasize the relationships and connections between components, conveying how these parts are assembled in context. This is why it typically lacks enough dimensions for complete fabrication, which would usually be found in detailed manufacturing drawings or fabrication documents that provide specific measurements and tolerances needed for producing the individual components. The other options, such as material specifications, installation guidelines, and electrical schematics, may still be provided or referenced in an assembly drawing to give context or additional instructions, but they are not the primary focus. Thus, while these elements might occasionally appear, the definitive characteristic that distinguishes assembly drawings is their insufficient dimensional detail for full fabrication purposes.
