Engineering Drawing and Plans
Engineering Drawing and Plans
-It is the art of representation of geometrical objects on a drawing sheet and used to
fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items
-It is separate language for communicating between designer, manufacturer and
inspection
- It is the graphic language and called the universal language of engineers
- Is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object
IMPORTANCE OF ENGINEERING DRAWINGS
• Civil
• Architectural
• Structural
• Plumbing
• Piping
• Pneumatic/Hydraulic
• Electrical
• Mechanical
MECHANICAL DRAWING
• The basics of mechanical drafting begin with understanding the concept of orthographic
projection
• Orthographic projection is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two
dimensions.

FREE HAND SKETCHING
Tips
Straight line:
1. Hold the pencil naturally
2. Spot the beginning and the end point
3. Swing the pencil back & forth between the points, barely touching the paper until the
direction is clearly established
4. Draw the line firmly with free and easy wrist-and-arm motion
ACTIVITY #1
Instructions: Make at least 5 horizontal, vertical and inclined lines in a clean sheet of paper
(A3)
Note: this is a freehand activity use only your pencil, eraser and paper other drawing
instruments are strictly prohibited

TITLE BLOCK
• Visible lines – represent features that can be seen in the current view.
- Solid thick lines that represent visible edges or contours
• Hidden lines – represent features that can’t be seen in the current view
- A short evenly spaced dashes that depict hidden features
• Center lines – represents symmetry, path of motion, centers of circles
- Alternating long and short dashes
• Dimension & Extension lines – indicate the sizes and location of features
on a drawing
a) Dimension lines – solid thin lines showing dimension extent/
direction
b) Extension lines – solid thin lines showing point or line to which
dimension applies
c) Leaders – direct notes, dimension, 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 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
