Engineering drawing frame border size
The size of the drawing border (or Engineering Drawing Frame) on your technical drawings is covered in BS EN ISO 5457.
The BS ISO standards require a 20mm border to the left hand edge (for filing) and a 10mm border round the other three sides of the drawing sheet.

I need a video or website where download N4 drawing lessons please.
Do it distance.
I’m sorry Lidz, I don’t know what ‘N4’ revers to? Could you elaborate?
Paul
I have a question about the thickness of the border. Is there a set line thickness?
Hi Donal,
The standard states 0.7mm thick, but this might not figure in your standard set of line weights. I’ve always used the thickest lineweight from my lineweight set

Does that help?
