Major university libraries and state libraries in Australia may hold physical copies of the standard or provide online access through subscription databases. However, access is typically restricted to library members, and downloading a permanent PDF may not be permitted.
This guide breaks down the key requirements for drafting, sheet layout, linework, and projection methods.

The 2014 update largely harmonized the standard with international ISO rules (ISO 128). The biggest changes were:

Contains recommendations for dimensioning, including size tolerances and geometric tolerancing (GD&T). This section forms the basis for how measurements are placed, how tolerance zones are defined, and how geometric controls (such as flatness, perpendicularity and position) are specified.
