Introduction Engineering Drawing

The true shape of a part or mechanism may be


described accurately on a drawing by using
combinations of lines and views
Computer Aided Drawing
• Computer drawing The drawings are usually made by commercial software
such as AutoCAD, solid works or Solid EDGE etc.
Computer Aided Drawing Applications
Freehand Sketching
Freehand drawing The lines are sketched without using
instruments other than pencils and erasers.
Instrument Sketching
• Instruments are used to draw straight lines, circles, and curves
concisely and accurately. Thus, the drawings are usually made to
scale.
Graphic Language

• Diametric Projection
• Isometric Projection
• Orthographic Projections
• In Diametric Projection, all
Dimetric Projection dimensions along two axes are
drawn to TRUE SIZE. The dimensions
along
• the third axis are HALVED. This
projection is preferred when one
view of the object is to be
emphasized
• than the other two views (i.e. when
Isometric Projection that one view is of more interest
than the other views).
• In Isometric Projection, all
dimensions along all the three axes
are drawn to TRUE SIZE.
• Isometric projection is preferred
when the three views of the object
are of equal importance for
accurate presentation of the object.
Orthographic Projections
• Orthographic Projections (OP) present more views and
sections.
• In Orthographic Projection, the views are seen in directions
that make right angles (i.e. 90o ) with each other.
• Three views are usually enough for Engineering (Technical)
drawings.
• Engineering (Technical) drawings prefer orthographic views
(OV) to record the shapes of objects exactly and completely
in two-dimensional (2-D) drawing.
Sectioning • Sectioning is a cut through
the main body of the
diagram to expose the
inner details.
Orthographic Projections
• Accompanies the main
body in dimeric projection.
• With other three views or
elevations such as Top, left
or right and front views or
elevations.
• They can bee first or third
angle projections

Left Or Right Side Views Top view


First Angle
Projections
• Lets draw top, front and side views of the block in first angle
projections
• What we see on the left, we draw on right, and top at the bottom.

Always write the symbol on the space provided in the drawing


sheet
First Angle Projections

Lets draw top, front and


side views of the block
in first angle projections
