DIMENSIONI

NG
Introduction
The purpose of dimensioning is to provide a clear and
complete description of an object.
Dimensioning should follow these guidelines.
1. Accuracy: correct values must be given.
2. Clearness: dimensions must be placed in appropriate
positions.
3. Completeness: nothing must be left out, and nothing
duplicated.
4. Readability: the appropriate line quality must be
used
for legibility.
Parts of Dimension
Types of Dimension
Lines used in Dimensions
• Extension line: extends a line from the object feature to be dimensioned. Leave a gap of about 2mm
next to the object. Continues about 3mm beyond the outermost arrowhead.
• Dimension line: Has an arrowhead at each end indicating the length of the dimension. A gap is left in
the middle of the dimension line for the dimension text.
• Center lines: Used to indicate axes of symmetry. Used in place of extension lines for locating holes
and other features. Make center lines end about 6mm outside the hole or feature, unless it is needs
to extend to assist in creating another dimension.
• Dimension Text/Figure: Standard height for whole numbers is 4 to 6mm and the standard height for
fractions is 6 to 8mm.
• Leader lines: Leads from a note or dimension and ends with an arrowhead touching the part to which
attention is directed. Always inclined lines, never vertical or horizontal. Usually drawn at 30°, 45° or
60°. Example, A circle is dimensioned by its diameter and an arc by its radius using a leader line and a
note. A short horizontal should extend from the leader line. Lettering extends from the middle of the
shoulder line.
• Arrowheads: Drawn with two sharp strokes toward or away from the point. Should be about 4mm
long or approximately equal to the text height in drawing.
• May fill in the arrowhead, avoid careless arrowheads.
Technique of dimensioning
(Main steps in applying
dimensions)
• Step-1- Draw extension lines dark thin and sharp. Extend the center
lines of the holes in the same manner as the extension lines (make
them thin and continuous).

• Step-2- Use the scale to space the dimensions at least 10 to 12mm
from the object and 6mm to 12mm apart.

• Step-3- Draw the dimension lines dark thin and sharp, leaving gaps for
the dimensions. Draw all arrowheads about 3 to 6mm long and 2 to 4
mm wide.
