1. Try to write a description of
this object.
2. Test your written description
by having someone attempt
to make a sketch from your
description.
Effectiveness of Graphics Language
The word languages are inadequate for describing the
size, shape and features completely as well as
concisely.
You can easily understand that …

DRAWINGS
( A Graphical Representation)
The Fact about:
If compared with Verbal or Written Description,
Drawings offer far better idea about the Shape, Size & Appearance of
any object or situation or location, that too in quite a less time.
Hence it has become the Best Media of Communication
not only in Engineering but in almost all Fields.
Engineering108.com
Graphic language in “engineering application” use
lines to represent the surfaces, edges and contours
of objects.
A drawing can be done using freehand, instruments or
computer methods.
Composition of Graphic Language
The language is known as “drawing” or “drafting” .
Engineering108.com
Freehand drawing
The lines are sketched without using instruments other
than pencils and erasers.
Example
Engineering108.com
Instrument drawing
Instruments are used to draw straight lines, circles, and
curves concisely and accurately. Thus, the drawings are
usually made to scale.
Example
Engineering108.com
Computer drawing
The drawings are usually made by commercial software
such as AutoCAD, solid works etc.

Elements of Engineering Drawing
Engineering drawing are made up of graphics language
and word language.

Drawing Standard

Standards are set of rules that govern how technical
drawings are represented.
Drawing standards are used so that drawings convey
the same meaning to everyone who reads them.

Drawing Scales
Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follow
SCALE 1:1 for full size
SCALE X:1 for enlargement scales
SCALE 1:X for reduction scales

Basic Line Types
Types of Lines Appearance

to application
Continuous thick line Visible line
Continuous thin line Dimension line
Extension line
Leader line
Dash thick line Hidden line
Chain thin line Center line
NOTE : We will learn other types of line in later chapters.

Visible lines represent features that can be seen in the
current view
Meaning of Lines
Hidden lines represent features that can not be seen in
the current view
Center line represents symmetry, path of motion, centers
of circles, axis of axisymmetrical parts
Dimension and Extension lines indicate the sizes and
location of features on a drawing

Text on Drawings
Text on engineering drawing is used :
To communicate nongraphic information.
As a substitute for graphic information, in those instance
where text can communicate the needed information
more clearly and quickly.
Uniformity - size
- line thickness
Legibility - shape
- space between letters and words
Thus, it must be written with

ANSI Standard This course
Use a Gothic text style,
either inclined or vertical.
Use all capital letters.
Use 3 mm for most
text height.
Space between lines
of text is at least 1/3
of text height.
Use only a vertical Gothic
text style.
Use both capital and
lower-case letters.
Same. For letters in title
block it is recommend to use
5~8 mm text height

Not uniform in style.
Not uniform in height.
Not uniformly vertical or inclined.
Not uniform in thickness of stroke.
Area between letters not uniform.

♣ How to fold the A2 size drawing sheets for assignment work?
♥ Mark 190 mm from the right edge of the drawing sheet. Mark 186 mm from the previous mark. Mark 20
mm from the left edge of the drawing sheet.
♥ Mark 297 mm from the bottom edge of the drawing sheet on the reverse side.
♥ Coincide the first fold with third fold to get second fold. Coincide the third fold with the border line which
is 20 mm to the right of left edge of drawing sheet to get fourth fold. Fifth and sixth folds are back folds.
♥ All larger size drawing sheets i.e. A0, A1, A2 and A3 are folded to A4 size sheet.
