Title: Overview of an Engineering Drawing
1Chapter 1 Overview of an Engineering Drawing
2TOPICS
3GRAPHICS LANGUAGE
4Effectiveness of Graphics Language
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.
You can easily understand that
The word languages are inadequate for describing
the size, shape and features completely as
well as concisely.
5Composition of Graphic Language
Graphic language in engineering application
use lines to represent the surfaces, edges and
contoursof objects.
6Freehand drawing The lines are sketched without
using instruments other than pencils and erasers.
7Instrument drawing Instruments are used to draw
straight lines, circles, and curves concisely
and accurately. Thus, the drawings are usually
made to scale.
8Computer drawing The drawings are usually made
by commercial software such as AutoCAD, solid
works etc.

10Elements of Engineering Drawing
Engineering drawing are made up of graphics
language and word language.

Standards are set of rules that govern how
technicaldrawings are represented.

19Drawing Scales
Length, size
Scale is the ratio of the linear dimension of an
element of an object shown in the drawing to the
real linear dimension of the same element of the
object.
Size in drawing
Actual size
20Drawing Scales
SCALE 11 for full size SCALE X1 for
enlargement scales (X gt 1) SCALE 1X for
reduction scales (X gt 1)
21Basic Line Types
Name according to application
Types of Lines
Appearance
NOTE We will learn other types of line in later
chapters.
22Meaning of Lines
Visible lines represent features that can be
seen in the current view
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
