An Introduction
Engineering Drawing
Importance
Graphic Language & Effectiveness
Try writing the description of these pictures……………
Graphic Language & Effectiveness
………………..………Or these pictures
And let someone attempt to make a sketch or visualize
from your description.
Graphic Language & Effectiveness
It can be found that …
The word language is
inadequate
for describing the
size, shape and features
completely as well as concisely.

In Design Process
Visualization
Problem identification is the ability to mentally
Visualize picture things that do not
& exploration of ideas
exist
Draw , design and
Sketches record initial ideas
Communication
the design solution
should be communicated
Created from sketches to others without
Geometric model used or analysis ambiguity
Refine, optimize
Detail drawings & record the precise Documentation
& data for production permanent record of the
3D model process or solution

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

Drawing Scale
Drawing Scales : Definition
Length, size
Scale is a ratio between the linear dimension of a
drawn representation of an object and the actual object.
1 : 2

Drawing Actual
Drawing Scales : Designation
Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follows
SCALE 1:1 for full size
SCALE X:1 (X > 1) for an enlargement scales
SCALE 1:X (X > 1) for a reduction scales
Drawing scale is commonly found in a title block.
Drawing Scales : Standard scale
Standard reducing scales are
1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100
Standard enlarging scales are
2:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1

Lettering
Recommendation
Text’s style on the drawing Examples
must have the following
GOOD
2 properties
Not uniform in style.
Legibility
- Shape Not uniform in height.
- Space between letters
- Space between words Not uniformly vertical.
Uniformity Not uniform in
- Size (or text height) thickness of stroke.
- line thickness Inappropriate space
between letters
Style (this course)
Gothic vertical style.
Begin the sentence, phrase or word with a capital letter.
Text height 2~3 mm.
Space between lines of text is about of text height.
Height of the lower-case letter is about 2/3 of that of a
capital letter.
Basic Strokes
Straight Slanted Horizontal Curved
Examples
“I” letter “A” letter “B” letter
4 5
1 1 2 1
3 6
3
2
Sentence Composition
Leave the space between words equal to the space
requires for writing a letter “O”.
Example
ALL ODIMENSIONS OARE OIN
MILLIMETERS OUNLESS
OTHERWISE O SPECIFIED.

Line Types
Basic Line Types &Application
Thickness Thick Thin 1. Dimension line
2. Extension line
Visible line 3. Leader line
Style
Continuous Hidden line
Dash
Chain Center line
1. Visible line represent features that can be seen in the current view.
2. Dimension line
Extension line indicate the sizes and location of features.
Leader line
3. Hidden line represent features that can not be seen in the current view.
4. Center line represents symmetry, path of motion, centers of circles,
axis of axisymmetrical parts
