3 Introduction To Engineering Drawing

The document discusses various types of lines and conventions used in engineering drawings including: visible lines, hidden lines, section lines, center lines, dimensioning, cutting planes, break lines, phantom lines, and chain lines. It also covers lettering, sketching, pictorial drawings including one-point, two-point, three-point and isometric views. Further it discusses orthographic/multiview drawings, section views, auxiliary views, and provides examples of schematic symbols used in electrical and chemical diagrams. The document is from an introduction to engineering textbook and provides the foundational information on techniques for visual communication in engineering.

Engineering Drawing

Taken from “Introduction to


Engineering”, by Paul Wright
Line Conventions
• Visible Lines – solid thick lines that represent visible edges or contours
• Hidden Lines – short evenly spaced dashes that depict hidden features
• Section Lines – solid thin lines that indicate cut surfaces
• Center Lines – alternating long and short dashes
• Dimensioning
– Dimension Lines - solid thin lines showing dimension extent/direction
– Extension Lines - solid thin lines showing point or line to which dimension applies
– Leaders – direct notes, dimensions, symbols, part numbers, etc. to features on drawing
• Cutting-Plane and Viewing-Plane Lines – indicate location of cutting planes for sectional
views and the viewing position for removed partial views
• Break Lines – indicate only portion of object is drawn. May be random “squiggled” line
or thin dashes joined by zigzags.
• Phantom Lines – long thin dashes separated by pairs of short dashes indicate alternate
positions of moving parts, adjacent position of related parts and repeated detail
• Chain Line – Lines or surfaces with special requirements

Lettering
• Plain Gothic
• Italics are OK
• ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
• abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sketching
• Drawings made without mechanical
drawing tools
– Free-Hand
– Ruler
– Simple drawing
program
From Course Text

• Should follow standards and conventions


Pictorial
• 3-dimensional representations
– One-point
• one vanishing point
• lines that are not vertical
or horizontal converge to
single point in distance
– Two-point or Three-point
• two or three vanishing points
– With two points, vertical or
horizontal lines parallel, but not both
– With three-point, no lines are parallel
– Isometric
• Drawing shows corner of object,
but parallel lines on object are
parallel in drawing
• Shows three dimensions, but no
vanishing point(s)

Orthographic / Multiview
• Draw object from two / three perpendicular views

Top view

Front View
Section Views
• If three views are
not enough, draw
sections needed to
completely
describe the
object.

Section A-A View B-B


Auxiliary Views
• Used to show true dimensions of an
inclined plane.
