Should you use colour line work on your drawings?
The British standards for technical drawing suggest that you don’t use coloured lines on your drawings. This makes sense from a Setting out point of view, most of our drawings will be photocopied at some point in their life and the coloured lines won’t show up.
The British standards do make a provision if you want to use coloured lines in your drawing, you just need to add a note or key to explain what the coloured lines mean.
Loading ...NB: This has nothing to do with the colour of the lines that you see on your screen, only the printed output.
