Abstract
The checker that reviews your drawing has a different mindset from yours. You are optimistic, your drawing is right and there is not a mistake on it, it is perfect. However, the checker knows your drawing is not perfect but that there is something right on it and he just has to find it. He will sift through your drawing notes, the delineation, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and the parts list. All data is reviewed for correctness and contractual compliance. He has to evaluate any errors and their significance. If petty and relatively unimportant, he may discard them. He has a mental checklist that he uses, and it is different for every drawing type. A competent checker can find 75 % of your errors in less than a half an hour, and if you know what he looks for, then you will be many steps ahead.
