1.What are different methods of dimensioning?

Ans. Basic types of dimensioning including

unidirectional and aligned systems, and
linear, aligned, angled, arrowless, chain,
datum, chart, tabular, radius, diameter,
typical, and reference dimensions.

2.Name the principal planes of projection.

Ans. Horizontal And Vertical Plane.

3.What do you understand by the v.t. and h.t. of

a section plane?
Ans. Horizontal trace (H.T) – H.T. of a section
plane is a line in which the section plane meets
the H.P.

Vertical trace (V.T.) – V.T. of a section plane is a

line in which the section plane meets the V.P.
 4.What is difference between a plane and a
lamina?
Ans. Plane is a two dimensional figure with
limited/ unlimited two dimensions.

Lamina is also a two dimensional figure with

limited two dimensions. For example a sheet of
paper is a lamina.

6. What is the principle of development of

surfaces?
Ans. To open up any object and place it on a
plane.

7. Why the drawing is called the language of

engineers?
Ans. Because the engineering drawing teach
drawing,which is important in
industrial(or)construction engineers to
execute the construction with the help of the
drawing and execute according to drawing.
8. What is the necessity of dimension a drawing?
ANS. Dimensions are very much important in
engineering drawing without these we wont be
able to find out how big or small the object is and
how big some thing has to be created.

9. What is the trace of a line?

Ans. The point of intersection of a line with a
plane is called trace.

10. Define representative fraction (R.F.)?

Ans. It is the ratio of distance of an object on the
sheet to the actual distance of the object.

11. What are a single and a double stroke letters?

Ans. Single Stroke: Thickness of letters is equal to
single stroke of a pencil
Double Stroke: Thickness of letters is equal to
double stroke of a pencil.
12. Why are the projections of objects not drawn
in second and fourth angle of projections?
Ans. In second angle the top view and front view
will overlap as when HP is rotated by 90 degree in
clockwise direction. Same happens with fourth
angle.

13. What is a plane?

Ans. It is a two dimensional surface that exceeds
upto infinite distance.

14. What is meant by scale in drawing?

Ans. 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.

15. What are applications of scales?

Ans. A scale is basically used to miniaturize a big
object to a small object on a sheet.
18. Which are the types of projections done in
engineering drawing?
Ans. There aer three types of projections
1.Perspective
2.Oblique
3.Orthographic.

25. What are the standard sizes of drawing sheets

according to I.S.I and which is suitable for drawing
work?
Ans. The standard size of sheets according to I.S.I.
are A0(1189 X 841), A1 (841 X 594), A2(594 X
420), A3(420 X 297), A4(297 X 210) and A5(210 X
148). Drawing sheet of size 594 X 420 i.e. A2 size
is generally used by engineering students as it is
very handy and easy for drawing work in class.
