I happened to be looking some things up so I thought I'd check on 'MIL spec
text.'  Under "Drawings, Engineering Practices for" were listed several specs
including ASME Y14.2m-79, Line Conventions and Lettering.  For overall drawing
military requirements refer to MIL-HDBK-288 Review and Acceptance of Engineering
Drawing Packages.  I am not intimately familiar with the MIL handbook but I
believe it is just a guideline defining documentation data trails.  The ASME 
spec is probably the one you need.  We have an Intergraph CAD system and have
never, to my knowledge, had any problems getting our text accepted.
