Engineering Graphics Viva Questions and Answers

DRG NO. 1 - LETTERING

Q: What are the different types of lettering used in engineering drawings?


A: Vertical and inclined lettering, single-stroke and double-stroke letters.

Q: Why is uniformity important in lettering?


A: It ensures clarity and neatness in technical drawings.

Q: What are the proportions for vertical and inclined letters?


A: Height is usually six times the width of the letter stroke.

Q: Explain the difference between single-stroke lettering and double-stroke lettering.


A: Single-stroke is done in one go; double-stroke requires two passes.

Q: How is the height of letters determined in a drawing?


A: Based on the scale and purpose of the drawing, usually in mm.

DRG NO. 2 - LINE CONVENTION

Q: What are the different types of lines used in engineering drawings, and what do they represent?
A: Visible, hidden, center, dimension, extension, and cutting plane lines.

Q: Why are line conventions important in technical drawings?


A: They standardize communication across engineers.

Q: Explain the difference between visible lines and hidden lines.


A: Visible lines are solid; hidden lines are dashed.

Q: How are center lines and dimension lines represented?


A: Center lines are long and short dashes; dimension lines have arrowheads.

Q: What is the significance of the thickness of lines in drawings?


A: It indicates the importance or function of the line.

DRG NO. 3 - TYPES OF SCALES

Q: What is the purpose of a scale in engineering drawings?


A: To represent large objects in manageable sizes.
Q: Name and explain the different types of scales used.
A: Plain, diagonal, and vernier scales.

Q: How is a representative fraction (RF) calculated?


A: RF = Drawing size / Actual size.

Q: What is the difference between a plain scale and a diagonal scale?


A: Plain scale measures two dimensions; diagonal measures three.

Q: How do you construct a scale for a given RF and length?


A: Divide the line into equal parts based on RF and mark units.

DRG NO. 4 - PROJECTION OF POINTS

Q: What is meant by the projection of points?


A: Representing a point on reference planes (HP, VP).

Q: How do you represent a point in the first quadrant?


A: Above HP and in front of VP.

Q: What is the significance of the horizontal and vertical planes in projections?


A: They define the position of objects in 3D space.

Q: How is a point located in the third quadrant?


A: Below HP and behind VP.

Q: Explain the difference between orthographic projection and isometric projection of points.
A: Orthographic uses perpendicular views; isometric uses inclined views.

DRG NO. 5 - PROJECTION OF LINES

Q: How is a line projected onto the principal planes?


A: By drawing perpendiculars to HP and VP.

Q: What are the different cases of line projections based on inclination?


A: Inclined to one plane, parallel, or perpendicular.

Q: How is the true length of a line determined in projections?


A: By finding the hypotenuse in inclined views.

Q: What is the trace of a line? Explain its significance.


A: Point where the line intersects a plane; shows orientation.

Q: How do you determine whether a line is parallel, perpendicular, or inclined to a plane?


A: By analyzing its projections on HP and VP.

DRG NO. 6 - PROJECTION OF PLANES

Q: What is a plane in engineering graphics?


A: A flat surface extending infinitely.

Q: How are planes categorized based on their position relative to the principal planes?
A: Parallel, perpendicular, or inclined to HP/VP.

Q: What is meant by the true shape of a plane?


A: Its actual 2D shape viewed perpendicularly.

Q: How is the inclination of a plane to one of the reference planes represented?


A: By the angle it makes with HP or VP.

Q: Explain the steps to project a triangular plane inclined to the horizontal plane.
A: Draw its true shape, incline to HP, then project on VP.
