German term or phrase: Anfragezeichnung
A component specification for gearbox casings contains a table headed:"Gehäuseteile". Inter alia, this contains
a row with the following"
*Anfragezeichnung* mit
Basiszeichnung abcde

Apologies for lack of context material
NB I did find a personal glossary item citing "Inquiry drawing", but want to check that this is the right term.

Customer specification drawing
Explanation:
Although a direct translation of 'Anfrage' as inquiry, enquiry or request is certainly possible, '(customer) specification' sounds more natural here and and suits the context better. The drawing illustrates what the customer has specified in their enquiry. The fact that this version covers a specification given in an enquiry or in an order should not be a problem here.
