4. Sheet Sets
Organizing and distributing drawings during a design project
Involves a wide range of tasks.
Drawings often need to be shared with clients and other personnel to make sure the design is accurate and any changes are incorporated.
As the project is developed, a set of drawings is used to build the design.
The design can be relatively simple, such as the views for a mechanical part, or complex, such as the plans for a building or new highway off-ramp.

5. Sheet Sets Sheet Sets can be vastly different sizes
A simple mechanical part - only one drawing sheet for manufacturing,
A 10-story office building may require a set of 100 sheets or more.
Although design needs vary, the ability to organize drawings for exchange purposes is important because any project typically involves input from a number of sources.
This ability becomes critical at the end of the project, when delivery of the drawings must take place in an orderly manner.
