However, it's impossible to answerall questions in this only one principle. The user guideis trying to sort out specific questions that may occurto users when it comes to the View and DrawingRequirements of design applications. This guide iscomprised of two parts:general requirements;ways/requirements of representation for particularproducts. There are 10 themes in Part 1 and 9 themes inPart 2.It should be noted the purposes of User Guide per seis to provide users with more clear and instructivesuggestions when they prepare the view or Drawing.It doesn't seek synergy on the legal provisions andpractical experiences. The final ruling of the specificapplication depends on legal provisions of each partner.INTRODUCTION specific②① 2TABLE OF CONTENTSPart 1. General requirements1.
