SUMMARY
The classification of engineering drawings is outlined in the ASME Y14 series, although the term "Level 1" is not explicitly defined within these standards. Instead, "Level 1" refers to a conceptual and developmental design phase, while subsequent levels indicate production stages, with Level 3 requiring precise specifications. The discussion highlights that while ASME Y14 does not categorize drawings by levels, similar classifications are found in MIL standards. Understanding these levels is crucial for effective engineering communication and documentation.
