Edp Lecture 1

The document provides an introduction to engineering drawings and plans, detailing various drawing instruments such as pencils, erasers, T-squares, and compasses, along with their uses. It also covers the importance of lettering in engineering drawings, classifying it into Gothic and Roman styles, and explains the 'Alphabet of Lines' used in technical drawings to convey information clearly. Different types of lines, their significance, and applications in technical drawings are discussed to enhance understanding of drafting techniques.

Pencil is a writing utensil with a graphite lead


embedded in a wooden shaft. It is mainly used
for artistic sketching and drawing, for
stenography or notes. Its benefits are the
simple usage as well as being able to remove
what you've drawn with an eraser.

Tracing paper is a paper made to have


low opacity, allowing light to pass through.
It was originally developed for architects
and design engineers to create drawings
which could be copied precisely using the
diazo copy process; it then found many
other uses.

article of stationery that is used
for removing marks from paper.

A T-square is a technical drawing


instrument used by draftsmen
primarily as a guide for drawing
horizontal lines on a drafting table. It
may also guide a set square to draw
vertical or diagonal lines.

A technical pen is a
specialized instrument used by
an engineer, architect, or
drafter to make lines of
constant width for architectural,
engineering, or technical
drawings. We will use 0.3, 0.5
and 0.8

A set square or 30/60 and 45/45


triangle is an object used in
engineering and technical drawing,
with the aim of providing a
straightedge at a right angle or other
particular planar angle to a baseline

A compass, also known as a pair


of compasses, is a
technical drawing instrument
that can be used for inscribing
circles or arcs.

Lettering is an impotent part of engineering drawing. It gives information
regarding size, and instructions, in the form of notes and dimension. On a
drawing, whole of the written information is always in the form of lettering. It
is not hand written. Also, it may be added here, that Lettering is appropriate
and correct words but not printing (Printing means production of printed
material on a printing press).
The writing of alphabets and numerals such as A, B, C, D…….Z and 1, 2, 3……
9, 0 respectively is called Lettering.

The lettering, in general, is classified in


two categories:
1. Gothic Lettering
2. Roman Lettering

Gothic Lettering
Lettering having all the alphabets or numerals of uniform
thickness is called Gothic Lettering.
Vertical Gothic Lettering
Italic or Inclined Gothic Lettering.

Types of lines & letters.


Single Stroke Vertical Gothic Lettering
These are vertical letter having thickness of each line of alphabet or numerals etc. Same as the
single stroke of a pencil. Since Stroke means that the letter is written with one or more stems or
curves and each made with single stroke.

Single Stroke Inclined Gothic Lettering
These are single stroke letter inclined at 75 to the Horizontal.

Double Stroke Vertical Gothic Lettering
Vertical letter drawn by double Stroke of pencil with uniform thickness between these strokes are
called Double Stroke Vertical Gothic Lettering.

Double Stroke Inclined Gothic Lettering
Double stroke gothic when inclined at an angle of 75 is called Double Stroke Inclined Gothic
Lettering.

Roman Lettering
The lettering in which all the letters are formed by thick and thin elements is called Roman
Lettering.
It may be vertical or inclined or inclined. It can be written with a chisel pointed Pencil or D-3 type
Speed Ball Pen.

ALPHABET OF LINES
Technical drawings provide clear and accurate information how an object is to be
manufactured. It shows and describes clearly and accurately the information required to
build or manufacture a product.

Line symbols used in technical drawing are often referred to as ALPHABET OF LINES.
The use of line symbols enables engineers/designers to express features of designed
products clearly and accurately. Line features vary not only by width but also by how
they are graphically represented in a drawing. Line significance is conveyed by line
weight or thickness of the line. Every line is drawn at different thickness and darkness
to express contrast as well as importance. Lines that are less important are thin and
light. Key to successful drafting is to have a good technical knowledge of these various
line characteristics – to understand where and when to apply them in technical drawing.

ALPHABET OF LINES
1. OBJECTORVISIBLELINES– Thick dark line use to show outline of object, visible edges and surfaces

2. CONSTRUCTIONLINE– Very light and thin line use to construct layout work.

3. DIMENSIONLINE– Thin and dark lines use to show the size (span) of an object with a numeric value. Usually
terminates with arrowheads or tick markings.

4. HIDDENLINE– Short dash lines use to show non visible surfaces. Usually shows as medium thickness.

5. CENTRELINE– Long and short dash lines. Usually indicates centre of holes, circles and arcs. Line is thin and dark.

6. EXTENSIONLINE– Thin and dark line use to show the starting and ending of dimension.

7. CUTTINGPLANELINE– Extra thick line use to show cutaway views or plane of projection where a section view
is taken. Arrow indicates direction of view.

8. SHORTANDLONGBREAKLINES–Short and long medium line use to show cutaway view of a long section.

9. LEADERLINE – Medium line with arrowhead to show notes or label for
size or special information about a feature.

10. PHANTOM LINE – Long line followed by two short dashes use to show
alternate position of a moving part.

11. SECTIONLINE – Medium lines drawn at 45 degrees use to show


interior view of solid areas of cutting plane line.
