What to copy from these examples

  • Name image files with the search intent and part type.
  • Keep the drawing readable after balloons are added.
  • Pair every balloon with a Form 3 row, not just a callout list.
  • Separate reference dimensions from inspectable characteristics.
  • Use alt text that describes the drawing type and AS9102 context.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good ballooned drawing example?

A good example shows the drawing, the balloon number, and the matching Form 3 row. A pretty sheet is not enough if the requirement and result cannot be traced.

Do notes and GD&T frames get balloons?

Yes. Any note, GD&T frame, finish callout, or specification reference that defines an inspectable requirement needs traceability into the FAIR package.

Changelog

Prepare the FAIR before the rework starts

Articul pre-fills Forms 1-3 from the print and routes anything uncertain to you, including drawing notes and title-block fields, while keeping the review tied to the source drawing.
