Break Lines in Engineering Drawings

This document provides guidelines for using different line types in engineering drawings, including break lines, phantom lines, and sectioning lines. It states that break lines should be zigzag lines used to indicate hidden edges, phantom lines are alternating long and short dashes used to show alternate positions or absent parts, and sectioning lines are thin full lines used to expose surfaces in sectional views.
