INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | I
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of engineering
drawings is to communicate to other
engineers, machinists, etc.
1.1.2 CATEGORIES OF
ENGINEERING DRAWING
1.1.1 MAIN PURPOSE OF
ENGINEERING DRAWING

INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 3
1.1.3 DRAWING EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS
Drawing board and drawing table
A drawing board or drawing table with its working surface upward.
The top surface of the board is perfectly smooth and level.
A drawing board is rectangular in shape and is made of well seasoned soft wood such
as oak or pine or other is made from plastic. A straight ebony edge is fitted on the left
side on the board against which the head of the T- square moves.
Figure 1.1 Drawing board
Figure 1.2 Drawing table
INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 4
T-Square
Compass
It is composed of a long strip called blade, which is screwed rigidly at right angle to a shorter piece called head or stock.
The head also has an ebony edge which slides against the working edge of the board. T- Square is used for making
horizontal, vertical, inclined or parallel lines on the drawing sheet..
Figure 1.3 T - Square
Figure 1.4 Compass
A compass set usually contains a drawing compass and a
divider compass. There are also other accessories which
can be use with them.
INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 5
Set Square
Drawing Pencil
Eraser
Figure 1.5 Set square
Set-squares are made of transparent plastic and are available in the shape of triangles,
having a French curve or simply a gap cut in the body. These are used for drawing short
straight lines, measuring and drawing certain angles. A good combination of set-squares is 30
degree x 60 degree set square with a long edge of 250 mm and a 45 degree set squares
with each edge of 200 mm.
Hard - use for construction and technical drawing
Medium - use for general use for technical drawing. the harder grades
are for instrument drawings and the softer is for sketching.
Soft - use for technical sketching and artwork but are too soft for
instrument drawing.

French Curve & Flexible French Curve
Erasing Shield
In addition to French curve, the flexible curve as show in Figure 1.7 may also be use to draw
curve. It is made of flexible plastic material with lead backbone.
Figure 1.7 French curve and flexible curve
Figure 1.8 Erasing shield
A thin plate with holes usually of several sizes use to confine an erasure to a limited area.
INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 7
Drafting tape
Drawing paper
Drafting tape is to help in keeping the paper well positioned. Leaving no residue behind.

Figure 1.10 Standard drawing paper sizes
A paper specially prepared for the use of drawers such as draftsmen or
sketchers.
INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 8
There are different types of pencils used in drawing. Usually, the hard medium and soft lead
pencils are graded as shown in Figure 1.1
1.1.4 TYPES OF PENCILS
Figure 1.1 1 Wooden pencil grades
INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 9
Lettering in engineering drawing is used to document a drawing. Lettering must be done
without the use of ruler. Continuous practice in lettering will help produce nice and uniform
writing. There are two types of lettering method in engineering drawing, the standard upright
letters and the standard incline letter.
1.1.5 LETTERING AND NUMBERS
1.12 Standard upright letter and Standard incline letters
INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICAL DRAWING | 10
Drawings drawn with the same size as the objects are called full sized drawing.
It is not convenient, always, to draw drawings of the object to its actual size. e.g. Buildings,
Heavy machines, machines, Bridges, Bridges, Watches, Watches, Electronic Electronic devices
devices etc.
Hence scales are used to prepare drawing at :
Definition
A scale is defined as the ratio of the linear dimensions of the object as represented in a drawing
to the actual dimensions of the same.
Necessity
Full size
Reduced size
Enlarged size
1.1.6 SCALE
Types of Scale
•Engineers Scale : The relation between the dimension on the drawing and the actual dimension
of the object is mentioned numerically (like 10 mm = 15 m).
•Graphical Scale: Scale is drawn on the drawing itself. This takes care of the shrinkage of the
engineer’s scale when the drawing becomes old.
Recommended Scales
Intermediate scales can be used in exceptional cases where recommended scales can
not be applied for functional reasons.

2.2 TITLE BLOCK
Figure 2.4 Sample title block according to standard required
The title block of a drawing, usually located on the bottom or lower right hand corner, contains all
the information necessary to identify the drawing and to verify its validity. A title block is divided
into several areas.
On of the areas normally found within the title block are the drawing title, the drawing number,
and lists the location, the site, or the vendor.
The drawing title and the drawing number are used for identification and filing purposes. Usually
the number is unique to the drawing and is comprised of a code that contains information about
the drawing such as the site, system, and type of drawing. The drawing number may also contain
information such as the sheet number, if the drawing is part of a series, or it may contain the
revision level. Drawings are usually filed by their drawing number because the drawing title may
be common to several prints or series of prints.

Different Orthographic projection and
Isometric view
Isometric Drawing
The representation of the object in figure 3.25 is called an isometric drawing. This is one of a
family of three-dimensional views called pictorial drawings. In an isometric drawing, the object's
vertical lines are drawn vertically, and the horizontal lines in the width and depth planes are
shown at 30 degrees to the horizontal. When drawn under these guidelines, the lines parallel to
these three axes are at their true (scale) lengths. Lines that are not parallel to these axes will
not be of their true length.
Figure 3.24 An isometric drawing
If the isometric drawing can show all details and all dimensions on one drawing, it is ideal.
However, if the object in figure 3.25 had a hole on the back side, it would not be visible using a
single isometric drawing. In order to get a more complete view of the object, an
orthographic projection may be used.
ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION AND ISOMETRIC | 92
Orthographic or Multiview Drawing
Imagine that you have an object suspended by transparent threads inside a glass box, as in figure
3.26.
Figure 3.25 The block suspended in a glass box
Then draw the object on each of three faces as seen from that direction. Unfold the box
(figure 3.27) and you have the three views. We call this an "orthographic" or "multiview"
drawing.

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION AND ISOMETRIC | 93
Figure 3.27 shows how the three views appear on a piece of paper after unfolding the box.
Three views are not always necessary; we need only as many views as are required to describe
the object fully. For example, some objects need only two views, while others need four.
The circular object in figure 3.29 requires only two views.

3.4 Construct an isometric drawing
according to standard required
The example below Figure 3.29 has been drawn with a 30 degree set square. Designs are always
drawn at 30 degree in isometric projection. It is vital that drawing equipment such as T - square
and 30/60 set square are use carefully.
Figure 3.29 How to draw an Isometric axis
Isometric Axes : The lines AB, AD and AE meeting at a point A and making an angle of 120° with
each other are termed ‘isometric axes’.
Isometric Lines:The lines parallel to the isometric axes are termed isometric lines. The lines CD, CB
etc are examples of isometric lines.
Non-isometric Lines:The lines which are not parallel to isometric axes are termed non- isometric
lines. The BD is an example.
Isometric Planes: The planes representing the faces of the rectangular prism as well as other
planes parallel to these planes are termed isometric planes.
Isometric scale: Isometric projection is drawn using isometric scale, which converts true lengths
into isometric lengths (foreshortened).

3.41 Box Method
The isometric projection of solids like cube, square and rectangular prisms are drawn directly
when their edges are parallel to the three isometric axes. The isometric projection of all other
types of prisms and cylinders are drawn by enclosing them in a rectangular box. This method is
called Box method.
Example :

GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING TOLERANCE| 110
Before an object can be built, complete information about both the size and shape of
the object must be available. The exact shape of an object is communicated through
orthographic drawings, which are developed following standard drawing practices. The
process of adding size information to a drawing is known as dimensioning the drawing.
Geometrics is the science of specifying and tolerancing the shapes and locations of
features on objects. Once the shape of a part is defined with an orthographic
drawings, the size information is added also in the form of dimensions. �
Dimensioning a drawing also identifies the tolerance (or accuracy) required for each
dimension.
�If a part is dimensioned properly, then the intent of the designer is clear to both the
person making the part and the inspector checking the part. �
A fully defined part has three elements: graphics, dimensions, and words (notes).
DIMENSIONING
GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING TOLERANCE| 111
SIZE AND LOCATION DIMENSIONS
A well dimensioned part will communicate the size and location requirements for
each feature. Communications is the fundamental purpose of dimensions.
� Parts are dimensioned based on two criteria:
� Basic size and locations of the features.
Details of a part's construction and for manufacturing.
UNIT OF MEASURE
� On a drawing used in American industry, all dimensions are in inches, unless otherwise

TERMINOLOGY
Dimension is the numerical value that defines the size or geometric characteristic of a
feature.
�Basic dimension is the numerical value defining the theoretically exact size of a feature.
�Reference dimension is the numerical value enclosed in parentheses provided for
information only and is not used in the fabrication of the part.
Dimension line is the thin solid line which shows the extent and direction of a dimension. �
Arrows are placed at the ends of dimension lines to show the limits of the dimension. �
Extension line is the thin solid line perpendicular to a dimension line indicating which feature is
associated with the dimension.
Leader line is the thin solid line used to indicate the feature with which a dimension, note, or
symbol is associated. �
Tolerance is the amount a particular dimension is allowed to vary. �
Plus and minus dimensioning is the allowable positive and negative variance from the
dimension specified
Diameter symbol is the symbol which is placed preceding a numerical value indicating that the
associated dimension shows the diameter of a circle. The symbol used is the Greek letter phi. �
Radius symbol is the symbol which is placed preceding a numerical value indicating that the
associated dimension shows the radius of a circle. The radius symbol used is the capital letter
R.
Datum is the theoretically exact point used as a reference for tabular dimensioning.
GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING TOLERANCE| 113
BASIC CONCEPT
�Dimensions are used to describe the size and location of features on parts for manufacture.
The basic criterion is, "What information is necessary to make the object?" Dimensions should
not be excessive, either through duplication or dimensioning a feature more than one way.
Size dimension might be the overall width of the part or the diameter of a drilled hole. �
Location dimension might be length from the edge of the object to the center of the drilled
hole

Rectangular coordinate dimensioning, a base line (or datum line) is established for each
coordinate direction, and all dimensions specified with respect to these baselines. This is
also known as datum dimensioning, or baseline dimensioning.
All dimensions are calculated as X and Y distances from an origin point, usually placed at
the lower left corner of the part.

PLACEMENT OF DIMENSION
RECOMMENDED PRACTICE
Extension lines, leader lines should not cross dimension lines.1.

2. Extension lines should be drawn from the nearest points to be
dimensioned.

TOLERANCE
Tolerance is the total amount a dimension may vary and is the difference between the upper
(maximum) and lower (minimum) limits.
�Tolerances are used to control the amount of variation inherent in all manufactured parts. In
particular, tolerances are assigned to mating parts in an assembly.
Tolerances are used in production drawings to control the manufacturing process more
accurately and control the variation between parts.
What is tolerance in technical drawing?
Tolerancing and Interchangeability
An interchangeable part is simply a mass produced part (a replacement part).
A single value dimension (1.00) now becomes a range of values (.995 - 1.005).
A tolerance is the amount of size variation permitted. You can choose a tolerance that
specifies a large or small variation.
Tolerance = max. size - min size
It is necessary because it is impossible to manufacture parts without some variation. The
stated limits are a form of quality control.
the design intent (end use) of the part
cost
how it is manufactured

What is interchangeability?
How is a feature on an interchangeable part dimensioned?
Why do we want a part’s size to be controlled by two limits?
Choosing a tolerance for your design.
Specify a tolerance with whatever degree of accuracy that is required for the design to work
properly. Choose a tolerance that is not unnecessarily accurate or excessively inaccurate.
Choosing the correct tolerance for a particular application depends on:

Types of tolerances
bilateral tolerances,
unilateral tolerances
limit tolerances
single limit tolerances.
There are 4 different types of tolerances .
Figure 4.14 Types of Tolerance
Limit Tolerances show both a maximum and minimum dimension allowable for the feature.
A Single Limit Tolerance only defines one limit dimension, normally either the maximum or
minimum value for a feature or dimension.
The Bilateral Tolerance shows the nominal dimension (0.212) and the allowable tolerance in
either direction + .001.
The Unilateral Tolerance shows the nominal dimension (0.212) and a tolerance in only one
direction +0.001.

GD&T SYMBOLS FOR
TOLERANCING
One of the benefits of GD&T is the usage of common symbols that are used to further tolerance
a part all of the different characteristics of a component that can be critical.
Below is a table showing the 14 standard geometric tolerance symbols used in geometric
tolerancing as defined by ASME Y14.5. These geometric tolerances fall into one of five categories –
Form, Location, Orientation, Profile & Runout.
Figure 4.1.5 Standard geometric tolerance symbols used in geometric
GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING TOLERANCE| 124
Additional Modifying Symbols
In addition to these geometric tolerance symbols, there a handful of other modifier
symbols that you should be familiar with, these are shown below:
Figure 4.1.6 Additional Modifying Symbol
Maximum material condition (MMC) is the condition of a part when it contains the most
amount of material. The MMC of an external feature such as a shaft is the upper limit.
The MMC of an internal feature such as a hole is the lower limit.
Least material condition (LMC) is the condition of a part when it contains the least
amount of material possible. The LMC of an external feature is the lower limit of the
part. The LMC of an internal feature is the upper limit of the part
Datum & Datum Feature
A Datum is an imaginary plane, axis, point, line or cylinder that are the origins from which the
location of geometric characteristics of features are established.
Figure 4.1.7 Datum feature
GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING TOLERANCE| 125
Feature Control Frame
A Feature Control Frame is a GD&T Tool that combines a Geometric Characteristic, the
tolerance allowed (Tolerance Zone shape & Tolerance Zone Size), any material modifiers,
and the datum feature references to create a geometric tolerance.
Feature Control Frames are an effective & compact method for providing clear & concise
requirements for the many different features of your design. The Feature Control Frame
can be broken down into three sections, shown here in blue.
Figure 4.1.8 Feature Control Frame
The first box or section can contain any of the 14 different standard geometric tolerance
symbols found above. In this example, the feature control frame includes a True Position
Tolerance.
The next section contains the actual tolerance for the specific feature being toleranced. In
this example, the true position tolerance is 0.25 with an additional diameter symbol to
indicate a circular tolerance zone at maximum material condition (M)
The third and final section indicate the datum references associated with the tolerance. In
this example Datum A is the primary datum, Datum B is the secondary datum, and Datum C is
the tertiary datum. This datum order is important because it standardizes the way the
part is fixtured during inspection.

elements besides the title block.

CHAPTER 5SECTIONAL VIEW
Learning Outcomes :
Explain sectioning for technical drawing Construct a sectional view drawing according to standard
required
SECTIONAL VIEW | 133
Often there is a need to show interiors that cannot be illustrated clearly by hidden
lines.
Interiors are shown by slicing through the object resulting in a cutaway view of the
part.
Cutaway views are called sectional views, cross sections, or simply sections.
SECTION VIEWS
Figure 5.1 A model of section view
SECTIONAL VIEW | 134
Many times the interior of an object is so complicated that it is impossible or very difficult to
represent that interior with conventional hidden lines.
This often causes confusion in reading and interpreting the drawing. Therefore, sectioning is
required in these cases.
Figure 5.2 Conventional hidden line technique and Section technique
Sectioning is a technique by which the object is sliced and the cutaway view of the part is
then drawn.
To show the construction clearly in many hollow objects, the front part is imagined to be
removed to reveal the interior surface.
Where and when this occurs the edges are represented with solid lines and the cut surface is
crosshatched or section lined.
The interior detail is now shown more clearly because the hidden lines have been replaced
with visible object lines.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 135
VISUALIZING A SECTION VIEW
Given the object
The top view and front view are shown as a typical orthographic projections with
hidden lines.
A cutting plane is passed through the object, cutting the object.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 136
The interior detail is now exposed and will appear as visible object lines
To clarify the section view even further, the surfaces touched by the cutting plane are
colored to distinguish between solid material and air space.
A cutting-plane line is used to indicate where the section is being cut. The arrow indicate
the direction of sight.
Crosshatching or section lining is applied to the surfaces that are in actual contact with
the cutting plane.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 137
To produce a section view a cutting plane is passed through the part (figure a).The cutting plane is removed and the two halves are drawn apart (figure b)exposing the interior detail.
A section view obtained by passing the cutting plane fully through the object is called a full
section.
In the front view the cutting plane appears as a line called a cutting-plane line. The arrows at
the ends of the cutting-plane line indicate the direction of sight for the section view.
To obtain the section view the right half of the front view is only imagined to be removed. The
cross-hatched areas of the section view are those portions that are in actual contact with
the cutting plane.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 138
A correct front view and section view are shown in figure (a) and figure (b). All visible
edges and contours behind the cutting plane should be shown.
Section views are used primarily to replace hidden lines so as a rule hidden lines should be
omitted in section views (figure d).
A section-lined area is always completely bounded by a visible outline, never by a hidden
line as in figure (e).
Section lines in a section view must be parallel and at the same angle and direction (figure
f).
A correct front view and section view
SECTIONAL VIEW | 139
SECTIONING LINING
SYMBOLS
Sectioning lining symbols can be used to indicate specific materials. These symbols represent
general material types.
Because there are so many different types of materials the general purpose cast iron
symbol can be used for all materials.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 140
The correct method of drawing section lines is shown in figure (a). Section lines are
drawn thin and at an angle of 45 degrees unless there is some advantage in using a
different angle. Section lines are spaced evenly approximately 1/16” to 1/8” or more
depending on the sectioned area. As a rule, are spaced generously as possible and yet
close enough to distinguish clearly the sectioned area.
If section lines drawn at 45 degrees would result in being parallel or
perpendicular to a visible object line the angle should be changed to 30
degrees, 60 degrees, or some other angle.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 141
CUTTING-PLANE LINE
The cutting plane is indicated in a view adjacent to the sectional view. In this view the cutting
plane appears edgewise as a line called a cutting-plane line.
There are two styles of cutting-plane lines.
The cutting-plane line in figure (a) is composed of equal dashes approximately 1/4” long with
arrowheads indicating the direction of sight. For CAD drawings use the line type HIDDEN.
The cutting-plane line in figure (b) is composed of alternate long dashes and pairs of short
dashes plus arrowheads indicating the direction of sight. For CAD drawings use the line type
PHANTOM2.
Cutting-plane lines are drawn as thick as a visible object line or thicker. For CAD drawings set
the line weight to either 0.020 or 0.030.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 142
Visualizing a Section:
Two views of an object to be sectioned are shown (figure a). It has a drilled and
counterbored hole. The cutting plane is assumed to pass through the horizontal center line in
the top view.
The corresponding section view shown in figure (c) is incomplete because certain visible lines
are missing.
If the section view is viewed in the direction of sight shown in figure (b) the arcs A,B,C and D will
be visible and appear as straight lines as shown in figure (d).
Correct and incorrect relations between cutting-plane lines and corresponding section views.
SECTIONAL VIEW | 143
TYPES OF SECTIONING
If a cutting plane passes halfway through an object the result is a half section (figure a). The
half section has the advantage of showing the interior of one half of the object and the
exterior of the other half (figure b).
Note the cutting-plane line. Only one arrowhead is used to show the direction of sight.
Hidden lines should be omitted from both halves of a half section view.
A center line is used to separate the halves of the half section view.
Half Sections:
Often only a partial section of a view is needed to expose interior shapes. Such a section, limited by an
irregular break line is called a broken-out section.
Broken-Out Sections:
SECTIONAL VIEW | 144
The shape of a cross section of an object may be shown in the longitudinal view by means of
a revolved section.
Revolved sections are made by assuming a plane perpendicular to the center line or axis of
the object and then revolving the plane 90 degrees about a center line at right angles to the
axis.
Revolved Sections:
A removed section is a section view that is not in direct projection from the view containing
the cutting plane.
Removed sections should be labeled Section A-A and Section B-B, corresponding to the
letters at the ends of the cutting-plane line.
Removed sections should be arranged in alphabetical order from left to right on the drawing
sheet
Removed Sections:
SECTIONAL VIEW | 145
In sectioning through an irregular object it is often desirable to show features that do not lie
in a straight line by offsetting or bending the cutting plane. Such a section is called an offset
section.
The offsets or bends in the cutting plane are all 90 degrees and are never shown in the
section view.
Offset Sections:
To avoid a false impression of thickness and solidity, ribs, webs, gear teeth, and other similar
flat features are not section lined even though the cutting plane passes through the feature.
In the example the cutting plane A-A passes through the vertical rib or web but the rib or web
is not section lined (figure a).
Figure (b) is incorrect because it gives a false impression of thickness or solidity.
Ribs in Sections:
SECTIONAL VIEW | 146
To include in a section view certain angled elements, the cutting plane may be bent to pass
through those features.
The plane and features are imagined to be revolved into the original plane.
In the example the cutting plane is bent to pass through the angled arm and then revolved to
