Learning Targets
- Connect balloons to a parts list.
- Use notes to clarify materials, fit, or assembly expectations.
- Track revisions so changes are visible to others.
IED Unit 3 • Lesson 3.15
Parts List, Balloons, Notes, and Revisions
Focus question: How do parts lists and notes make an assembly drawing usable?
Mission Briefing
Today’s Plan
Use this page with the lesson presentation, your engineering notebook, and the tools or evidence assigned for Complete Assembly Identification and Revision Information.
Success Looks Like
You can add parts-list and note evidence that makes an assembly drawing usable.

Opening Prompt
How do parts lists and notes make an assembly drawing usable?
Connect your response to the decision, evidence, or quality standard required for Complete Assembly Identification and Revision Information.
Reveal: useful engineering move
This lesson is ready to move forward when the evidence meets this standard: Every balloon matches the parts list and the notes provide useful information not already obvious from the geometry.
Core Skill
What We Are Practicing
Parts lists connect item numbers to real components.
Balloons help readers identify which part is which.
Notes and revision blocks make drawings more usable and traceable.
Your Task
Complete Assembly Identification and Revision Information
Add balloons, a parts list, notes, and revision information so another person can identify and assemble the components.
- Create or verify the parts list from the assembly.
- Place non-overlapping balloons that match the item numbers.
- Add only the notes needed for assembly or interpretation.
- Complete the revision information for documented changes.
Quality check: Every balloon matches the parts list and the notes provide useful information not already obvious from the geometry.
Lesson Interactive
Connect Balloons to the Parts List
Assign the correct item numbers to the assembly components and confirm the current drawing revision.
Assembly Identification
Parts-List Entries
Match balloon numbers to the parts list: nose cone 1, body tube 2, fin can 3, current revision B.
What You Will Submit
Annotated Assembly Drawing
Submission standard: Every balloon matches the parts list and the notes provide useful information not already obvious from the geometry.
