Why didn MIL-STD-100 get transferred to an industry standard initially?
The initial attempt to convert the DoD drawing practices standard, MIL-STD-100, to a non-government standard resulted in two drawing practices standards: • ASME Y14.100M-1998 that consisted of basic practices common to DoD and industry • MIL-STD-100G that consisted of those practices and requirements unique to DoD The community became confused as it was uncertain when to use these standards alone or in combination with each other. The consensus was that one standard was needed. To accomplish this, ASME Y14.100M-1998 continued to be updated and appendices were added that contained practices for DoD requirements that could be used and tailored by DoD, making it possible to cancel MIL-STD-100. The approval of ASME Y14.100-2000 is the driving force behind the recent update to the 10th edition of the DRM. In addition, the latest DRM reflects changes (revisions, additions, or deletions) of 118 other specifications and standards that relate to the preparation of engineering drawings from the
