This is USPTO's own guide, which went out of print and is reprinted here. Two small sections by an experienced practitioner (Carl Oppedahl of Oppedahl Patent Law Firm LLC) have been added -- a section on best practices for creating drawings for electronic filing, with examples of ways that USPTO's systems can degrade perfectly good drawings and tips for avoiding such problems, and a section on best practices for creating drawings for design patent applications.
