What is Engineering Drawing ?
 Drawing is a graphical Language of an Engineer
which communicates ideas and information from
one mind to another.
 It communicates all needed information from the
engineer, who designed a part, to the workers,
who will make it. K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

Engineering Drawing is a two dimensional representation of
a three dimensional object. It is the graphic language, from
which a trained person can visualize the object.
 Engineering drawing is formal and precise way of
communicating information about the shape, size, features
and precision of physical objects.
 Engineering Drawing is the universal language of
Engineers

ENGINEERING DRAWING
The classification of Engineering Drawings include:
•Building drawing
•Machine drawing
•Production drawing
•Electrical drawing etc.

A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS
In Engineering, a good
drawing is worth even
more than a thousand
words.
Importance

Why instruments for drawing ?

A typical study of the drawing course will lead to the
following observations.
• It develops a type of discipline in graphical techniques.
• It develops ability to analyze and communicate ideas.
• It helps in imagining the proper size, shape & form of an
object.
• It develops capacity of reasoning & judgment.
• It helps in the study of other Engineering subjects.

STANDARDS
• For the convenience of exchange of information and to buy or
sell machinery from or to a foreign country and to facilitate
interchangeability of parts it is essential to have standard code
of practice
• Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standards
Body formed by the Government of India on 1 April 1987,
replacing Indian Standard Institution(ISI) existing earlier. BIS
– SP 46 revised as SP – 46 – 2003
• The other foreign standards are
–DIN of Germany, BS of Britain
• BIS works in association with ISO ( International Standards
Organization )

LINES:

LETTERING
Writing titles, dimensions, notes, and other important
particulars on a drawing is called lettering.
• Single stroke letters (recommended by BIS)
i) Vertical (mostly used) ii) Inclined
• Gothic letters(main titles of ink drawing)

 Inclined letters are lean to the right, the slope being
75º with the horizontal.
 lettering is generally done in capital letters

LETTERING
Engineering drawings use single-stroke SANS SERIF
vertical CAPITAL letters because they are highly legible
and quick to draw.
Lower case letters are used for abbreviations like mm, cm
etc.
Left to right & top to bottom

 Size of letters is measured by height ‘h’ of capital letters
as well as numerals.
 Standard heights: 1.8, 2.5, 3.5, 5, 7,10,14, 20 mm
Main title: 5 or 7 or 10 mm Sub-titles: 3.5 or 5 mm
Dimensions, notes etc: 2.5, 3.5, 5 mm
 Capital letters Size-10:7(height : width) Gap:2 or 3 mm
TOMQVAXY -10:8 ; W-10:12; I - 10:2; others 10:7
 Lower-case: 0.7 times capital letters
 Numericals(0 to 9 except 1)- 10:6 and 1 - 10:2K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

Different sizes of letters used for different purposes
• The main titles are generally written in 6mm to 8mm size.
• Sub titles in 3mm to 6mm size.
• Notes, dimension figures etc in 3mm to 5mm size.
• The drawing number in the block is written in numerals of
10 mm to 12 mm size.
• The width of the normal letter is about 0.67 times the
height.
• It is often desirable to increase or decrease the size of the
letters in order to make them neat & pleasing to the eyes.

Lowercase letters are rarely used in engineering
sketches except for lettering large volumes of notes.
Vertical lowercase letters are used on map drawings,
but very seldom on machine drawings.

DIMENSIONING
Which is better ?

DIMESIONING
The information of size on the drawing is called “Dimensioning”. It plays
an important role as it helps in giving the correct and accurate size of the
part to be manufactured.
• Drawing without dimensions is meaningless
The elements of dimensioning are:
– Dimension line
– Extension line
– Arrowheads
– Dimension figures
– Leaders
– Notes
*Dimension lines should always be parallel to the line it dimensions.
*Extension line should extend slightly beyond the dimension line.K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIS

Lines used in Dimensioning
oDimensioning requires the use of
Dimension lines
Extension lines
Leader lines
oAll three line types are drawn thin.K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

Dimension line
oDimension line: A line terminated by arrowheads, which
indicates the direction and extension of a dimension.
oExtension line: An extension line is a thin solid line that
extends from a point on the drawing to which the
dimension refers.
oLeader Line: A straight inclined thin solid line that is
usually terminated by an arrowhead.K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

Dimension line

Arrowheads
• Arrowheads are drawn between the extension lines if possible.
If space is limited, they may be drawn on the outside.

SYSTEM OF DIMENSIONING
1.ALIGNED SYSTEM
2.UNI-DIRECTIONAL SYSTEM
 In the aligned system, dimensions are placed
perpendicular to the dimension line in such a way
that it may be read from bottom edge or right hand
edge of the drawing sheet.
 In Unidirectional Method of Dimensioning,
dimension line should be cut at center and
dimensions should be placed in the middle of
dimension lines. K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

UNI-DIRECTIONAL SYSTEM

PRINCIPLES TO BE FOLLOWED IN DIMENSIONING
• The aligned system of giving dimensions should be
followed.
• As far as possible all the dimensions should be placed
outside the object placing dimension lines at least 8mm
from the outlines and from one another.
• The dimensions should never be crowded.
• The diameter can be dimensioned by giving Ф or D before
the measurement.

•The angles should be dimensioned as shown below

PARALELL DIMENSIONING
• Dimensions start from a common datum
• Cumulative error can be avoided.

PROGRESSIVE DIMENSIONING
The datum is indicated by a dot and the dimensions are
placed in line with the projection line

What are the 6 dimensioning
mistakes?

Mistakes are:

Correctly Dimensioned

COMPUTER AS A DRAFTING TOOL
Most people who create technical drawings use
CAD. The advantages include accuracy, speed, and
the ability to present spatial and visual information in
a variety of ways. Even the most skilled CAD users
need to also be skilled in
freehand sketching, to quickly get
ideas down on paper.
One benefit of CAD is the ability to draw perfectly straight
uniform lines and other geometric elements. Making
changes to a CAD drawing takes about a tenth the time that
it takes to edit a drawing by hand.K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

Summary
Border lines are to be drawn with HB pencil.
Title block and main figures are to be drawn with HB pencil.
Arrow heads, dimensioning and lettering should be done with HB Pencil.
Construction lines, guide lines and dimension lines should be drawn with
2H pencil lightly.
Arcs and circles are to be drawn with HB pencil lead.
The main title of the drawing should be 5 – 6 mm height and all other sub
titles should be of 3 – 4 mm height.
The dimension should be given above the dimension line at the center-
Aligned dimensioning system.

For vertical and inclined lines the dimensioning are given in such
a way that they can be read clearly from the right hand side of the
sheet.
All letters should be uniform in size, slope and intensity.
Leave one letter gap between words.
All dimensions are in mm.

Polygons
• A Polygon is any plane figure bounded by straight sides.
• If the polygon has equal angles and equal sides, it can be inscribed in or
circumscribed around a circle and is called a regular polygon.
ii) Construction of Polygons

Why Geometric Construction
• Construction of primitive geometric forms (points, lines and planes etc.) that
serve as the building blocks for more complicated geometric shapes.

• Draw a line MO at any convenient angle (preferably an acute angle) from point
M.
• From M and along MO, cut off with a divider equal divisions (say three) of any
convenient length.
• Draw a line joining NO.
• Draw lines parallel to NO through the remaining points on line MO. The
intersection of these lines with line MN will divide the line into 3 equal parts.K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

Bisecting an angle
Angle BAC is to be bisected
 From intersection points C & B,
strike equal arcs r with radius
slightly larger than half BC, to
intersect at D
 Draw line AD, which bisect the
angle
 Strike large arc R

Drawing any polygon, when side is given
1. Draw AB = given length of polygon
2. At B, Draw BP perpendicular & = AB
3. Draw Straight line AP
4. With center B and radius AB, draw arc AP.
5. The perpendicular bisector of AB meets straight line
AP and arc AP in 4 and 6 respectively.
6. Draw circles with centers as 4, 5,& 6 and radii as 4B,
5B, & 6B and inscribe a square, pentagon, &
hexagon in the respective circles.
7. Mark point 7, 8, etc with 6-7,7-8,etc. = 4-5 to get the
centers of circles of heptagon and etc.
General method-I

 Draw circles by taking the points 4,5,6,7,8 as center points
and divide the respective circles with the compass
measurement equal to the distance of the line AB.
 Connect the divided points of respective circles in sequence
with straight lines to get respective polygons. Like Square,
Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon and Octagon.

1.Draw a semi circle with side of polygon as radius
2.Divide the semi circle into n equal parts.
Angle = 180/no. of sides
3. Join A and 2
4. Extend the lines from A3, A4 etc.
5. With length of side from 2 cut on the line extended A3 etc.
Heptagon
General Method-II

Inscription and superscription of Polygons
When diameter is given

Draw the circle with diameter AB.
Divide AB in to “n” equal parts.
Number them.
With center A & B and radius AB,
draw arcs to intersect at P.
Draw line P2 and produce it to
meet the circle at C.
AC is the length of the side of the
polygon.

3.Construct a regular hexagon, given the distance
across the flats as 60mm.
Dia. of inscribed circle in the hexagon is nothing but
distance across flats. Hence draw circle of Ø 60
(Super scribe)

4.Construct a regular hexagon given distance
across corners is 50mm.
Diameter of circumscribing circle is nothing but
distance across corners. Hence draw a circle of Ø 50
( Inscribe )

5.Describe a hexagon about a circle of 60 mm dia.

6. Super scribe a regular octagon about a given
circle of 70 mm dia.

7. Divide a of a line of 90 into 8 equal parts

8. Divide a circle into 12 and 8 parts.

Practical Methods

Inscribe a circle inside a regular polygon
• Bisect any two adjacent internal angles
of the polygon (angle bisection).
• From the intersection of these lines,
draw a perpendicular to any one side of
the polygon (say OP). With OP as radius,
draw the circle with O as center.

 Similarly in case of tiny objects dimensions must be increased for
above purpose. Hence this scale is called ENLARGING SCALE.
Here the ratio called representative factor(RF) is more than unity.
R.F. = LENGTH OF DRAWING in cm
ACTUAL LENGTH in cm
 Dimensions of large objects must be reduced to accommodate on
standard size drawing sheet. This reduction creates a scale of that
reduction ratio, which is generally a fraction. Such a scale is called
REDUCING SCALE and that ratio is called REPRESENTATIVE
FRACTION (RF) is less than unity.

point moving in a plane so that
the sum of its distances from two
fixed points (the foci) is constant,
or resulting when a cone is cut by
an oblique plane which does not

HYPERBOLA -Definition
 It is a curve traced by a point moving such that
at any position, its distance from a fixed point
(focus) is always greater to its distance from
fixed straight line i. e directrix. e>1
 Cutting plane angle is say α , Cone Apex half
angle is say Ѳ then for Parabola α < Ѳ.
 Even α = 0,provided section plane parallel to axis &
not passing through the apex of the cone is also
Hyper Parabola.
 If section plane passes through Apex the
section produced is Isosceles Triangle.
 If double cone is cut by section plane we get

CONSTRUCTION OF ELLIPSE
BY
DIFFERENT METHODS

Conics: The sections obtained by the
intersection of a right circular cone by a
plane in different positions relative to
the axis of the cone are called conics.
Ellipse: Inclined to axis, cuts all the generators on one side of
apex, not passing through base
Parabola: Inclined to axis, parallel to one of the generators,
passing through base
Hyperbola: Not parallel to generator, passing through base
Rectangular hyperbola: cutting plane is parallel to the axis of
cone(but not pass through Apex)K.Srinivasulu Reddy, SNIST

• Conic : The locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way
that the ratio of it distances from a fixed straight line is
always constant .
• The fixed point is called FOCUS.
• The fixed line is DIRECTRIX.
ECCENTRICITY (e) = The ratio of Distance of the point
from the Focus to the Distance of the point from the
Directrix.

Directrix

Eccentricity method-Construction procedure
1. Draw the axis AB and directrix CD at right angle to each other.
2. Mark focus F1 on the axis such that AF1=50
3. Divide AF1 into 5 equal parts.
4. Locate the vortex V on the third division from point A.
5. Draw a line VE perpendicular to AB such that VE=Vf1
6. Join A,E and extend. By construction VE/VA = VF/VA=2/3 the eccentricity.
7. Mark a number of points 1,2,3 …. To the right of V on the axis which need not be
equidistant.

AE extended at 1’ , 2’ , 3’ etc.
9. With centre F1 and radius 1-1’ draw arcs intersecting the line through 1 at P1 and P1’.
P1 and p1’ are the points on the ellipse, because the distance of P1 from f1 is 1-1’
and from CD, it is A-1 and 1-1’/A-1 =VE/VA=2/3 the eccentricity.
10. Similarly locate the points P2,P2’: P3,P3’etc., on either side of the axis.
