Alphabet Of Lines
Chapter 4
Introduction to the Alphabet
of Lines
The use of line types on a drawing
 are used to describe the various features
of an object
 to the person reading the print
In order to understand what the drafter is
trying to get across
 you must be able to understand the
symbols and lines s/he uses.
Introduction to the Alphabet
of Lines – Cont’d
A line is the most fundamental and perhaps
the most important, single entity on a
technical drawing
Lines help to illustrate and describe the shape
of objects that will later become real parts.
Introduction to the Alphabet
of Lines
Each line has a definite form and line weight.
 The standard thick line weight varies from
.030 to .038 of an inch.
 The standard thin line weight varies from
.015 to .022 of an inch.
The Alphabet of Lines Illustrated
11 Main Line Types
Visible (Object)
Hidden
Center
Dimension
Extension
Leader
Section
Cutting Plane
Phantom
Viewing Plane
Break
Visible Lines
Also referred to as Object Lines
Dark, heavy lines.
Show the outline and shape of an object.
Define features you can see in a particular
view.
Visible or Object Line
Hidden Lines
Light, narrow, short, dashed lines.
Shows the outline of a feature that can not
be seen in a particular view.
Used to help clarify a feature, but can be
omitted if they clutter a drawing.
Hidden Lines
Center Lines
Thin line consisting of long and short dashes.
Shows the center of holes, slots, paths of
rotation, and symmetrical objects.
Center Lines
Dimension Lines
Dark, heavy lines.
Show the length, width, and height of the
features of an object.
Terminated with arrowheads at the end.
Center Lines
Extension Lines
Used to show the starting and stopping
points of a dimension.
Must have at least a 1/16th space between
the object and the extension line.
Extension Line
Dimension Line
Extension Lines
Leader Lines
Thin lines.
Used to show the dimension of a feature or a
note that is too large to be placed beside the
feature itself.
Leader Line
Leader Lines
Cutting Plane Lines
Thick broken line that is terminated with
short 90 degree arrowheads.
Shows where a part is mentally cut in half to
better see the interior detail.
Cutting Plane Lines
Section Lines
Thin lines Usually drawn at 45 degrees
There are different types of section lines
 depending on the type of material being
cut through
Section Lines
Indicates the material that has been cut
through in a sectional view
Use to show where the cutting-plane line has
cut through material
Section Lines
Break Lines
Used to break out sections for clarity or for
shortening a part.
Three types of break lines with different line
weights.
Short Breaks.
Long Breaks.
Cylindrical Breaks.
Short Break Lines
Thick wavy line.
Used to break the edge or surface of a part
for clarity of a hidden surface.
Short Break Line
Long Break Lines
Long, thin lines.
Used to show that the middle section of an
object has been removed so it can be drawn
on a smaller piece of paper.
Cylindrical Break Lines
Thin lines.
Used to show round parts that are broken in
half to better clarify the print or to reduce the
length of the object.
Phantom Lines
Thin lines made up of long dashes alternating
with pairs of short dashes.
Three purposes in drawings.
1. To show the alternate position of
moving parts.
2. To show the relationship of parts
that fit together.
3. To show repeated detail.
Alternate Position
Phantom lines can show where a part is
moving to and from.
Eliminates the confusion of thinking there
may be 2 parts instead of just 1.
Phantom Lines
Phantom Line
Relationship of Mating Parts
Phantom lines can also show how two or
more parts go together without having to
draw and dimension both parts.
Repeated Detail
Phantom lines can show repeated detail of an
object.
Saves the drafter time and the company
money.
Less chance of drafter error.

Summary
Now that we have discussed the 11 main line
types, you should be able to do the following:
1. Identify the alphabet of lines.
2. Identify where the line types are
used.
3. Produce the lines with various
line weights.

Alphabet of lines.ppt

  • 2. Introduction to the Alphabet of Lines The use of line types on a drawing  are used to describe the various features of an object  to the person reading the print In order to understand what the drafter is trying to get across  you must be able to understand the symbols and lines s/he uses.
  • 3. Introduction to the Alphabet of Lines – Cont’d A line is the most fundamental and perhaps the most important, single entity on a technical drawing Lines help to illustrate and describe the shape of objects that will later become real parts.
  • 4. Introduction to the Alphabet of Lines Each line has a definite form and line weight.  The standard thick line weight varies from .030 to .038 of an inch.  The standard thin line weight varies from .015 to .022 of an inch.
  • 5. The Alphabet of Lines Illustrated
  • 6. 11 Main Line Types Visible (Object) Hidden Center Dimension Extension Leader Section Cutting Plane Phantom Viewing Plane Break
  • 7. Visible Lines Also referred to as Object Lines Dark, heavy lines. Show the outline and shape of an object. Define features you can see in a particular view.
  • 9. Hidden Lines Light, narrow, short, dashed lines. Shows the outline of a feature that can not be seen in a particular view. Used to help clarify a feature, but can be omitted if they clutter a drawing.
  • 11. Center Lines Thin line consisting of long and short dashes. Shows the center of holes, slots, paths of rotation, and symmetrical objects.
  • 13. Dimension Lines Dark, heavy lines. Show the length, width, and height of the features of an object. Terminated with arrowheads at the end.
  • 15. Extension Lines Used to show the starting and stopping points of a dimension. Must have at least a 1/16th space between the object and the extension line. Extension Line Dimension Line
  • 17. Leader Lines Thin lines. Used to show the dimension of a feature or a note that is too large to be placed beside the feature itself. Leader Line
  • 19. Cutting Plane Lines Thick broken line that is terminated with short 90 degree arrowheads. Shows where a part is mentally cut in half to better see the interior detail.
  • 21. Section Lines Thin lines Usually drawn at 45 degrees There are different types of section lines  depending on the type of material being cut through
  • 22. Section Lines Indicates the material that has been cut through in a sectional view Use to show where the cutting-plane line has cut through material
  • 24. Break Lines Used to break out sections for clarity or for shortening a part. Three types of break lines with different line weights. Short Breaks. Long Breaks. Cylindrical Breaks.
  • 25. Short Break Lines Thick wavy line. Used to break the edge or surface of a part for clarity of a hidden surface. Short Break Line
  • 26. Long Break Lines Long, thin lines. Used to show that the middle section of an object has been removed so it can be drawn on a smaller piece of paper.
  • 27. Cylindrical Break Lines Thin lines. Used to show round parts that are broken in half to better clarify the print or to reduce the length of the object.
  • 28. Phantom Lines Thin lines made up of long dashes alternating with pairs of short dashes. Three purposes in drawings. 1. To show the alternate position of moving parts. 2. To show the relationship of parts that fit together. 3. To show repeated detail.
  • 29. Alternate Position Phantom lines can show where a part is moving to and from. Eliminates the confusion of thinking there may be 2 parts instead of just 1. Phantom Lines
  • 31. Relationship of Mating Parts Phantom lines can also show how two or more parts go together without having to draw and dimension both parts.
  • 32. Repeated Detail Phantom lines can show repeated detail of an object. Saves the drafter time and the company money. Less chance of drafter error.
  • 33. OnLine Slide Show There is a brief and easy to follow demonstration of the Alphabet of Lines on line  http://www.wisc- online.com/objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=M TL17903
  • 34. Summary Now that we have discussed the 11 main line types, you should be able to do the following: 1. Identify the alphabet of lines. 2. Identify where the line types are used. 3. Produce the lines with various line weights.
