 What Is It

Alphabet of Lines
The lines in the alphabet of lines are used to describe shape, size, hidden surfaces,
interior detail and alternate positions of parts. Each conveys a particular meaning on the
drawing.
Each type of the line has a very precise symbolic correct meaning and usage in the
alphabet of lines. It is also essential whether you use the traditional drafting methods or
ACAD. Line weight is the thickness of the line. Construction lines and guide lines are
very light, easily erased lines used to block the main lay out.

Source:
There are several different types of lines used on a print and each has different
meaning. To be able to interpret a print, the reader should have knowledge of these lines.
These lines are called alphabet of lines.
1. Object Line. Thick solid line used to show the visible shape of the object.

___________________________________________

2. Hidden Line. Broken line of medium thickness and used to show the edges
and outlines not visible to the eye.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----

3. Center Line. Fine, broken line made up of a series of short and long dashes
alternately spaced. To show the center of circles, arcs, and symmetrical
objects and to aid in dimensioning the parts of the object.
__ _____ __ _____ __ ______ __

4. Extension Line. Fine lines that extend from the object with a slight break
between and it is used to show dimensioning points.

2
5. Dimension Line. Lines used to indicate the measurement of objects. It
consists of three parts: arrowheads, fine line, and number or measurement.
The fine lines have the same thickness or weight as the projection line. The
arrowheads are short heavy strokes (called flares) placed at the extremities of
this fine line. The shape of an arrowhead is like the point of an ordinary pen.
The number or figure is usually positioned at the middle of the fine line and its
axis is perpendicular to it.

6. Leader Line. Fine, straight line with an arrowhead or round solid dot at one
end and usually drawn at an angle. Points directly to a surface for the
purpose of dimensioning or adding a note. A dot may be used at the end of
the straight line where reference is made to a surface area.

7. Cutting Plane Line. A thick broken line made up of a series of one long
and two short dashes alternately spaced. The arrowheads are placed at
right angles to the cutting plane line. The purpose of this line is to
indicate where an imaginary cut is made through the object. The arrow
points in the direction in which the section should be viewed. Letters next
to the arrowheads identify the section in cases where more than one
section is shown on the drawing. These lines are oriented vertically,
horizontally, or at the actual angle at which the part is drawn.

8. Section Lines. Series of fine lines-solid or solid and broken-arranged in

specific patterns. They may be shown either straight or curved. When shown
straight, they are usually drawn at a 450 angle. It is used to indicate the
imaginary cut surface referred to by the cutting plane line. To represent
various kinds of materials.

3
 9. Chain Line. Heavy, broken line made up of a series of long and short dashes
alternately spaced. It is used to indicate the location and extent of a surface.

__________ ____ __________

10. Short Break Line. Heavy, irregular line drawn freehand used to show a short
break to conserve space on a drawing.

11. Long Break Line. Ruled, light line with freehand zigzags used to show a long
break to conserve space on a drawing.

12. Phantom Line. Light, broken line made up of a series of long and two short
dashes used to show alternate positions of a part; to show relationship of
existing part to new part; and to show machined surfaces.

using the different alphabetical lines you know from the topic that you have already read.

Summary

Lines are the bases of all drawing. They are used even from simple drawings to the
difficult ones. Practice, exercise and correct use of techniques in the making of lines will give
student experience in technical sketching. Moreover, constant practice will help students
develop skills in making lines and use of pencils. It should be remembered that the basic
requirement for line construction is clarity of line produced.
In practice, the kind of line produced, depends on the hardness of the pencil. For
drawing using pencil, the medium and light lines are more prepared.
There are conventional lines used in drawing. These lines are called alphabet of line
and each line serves a particular purpose. These lines may either be drawn freehand or they
may be drawn mechanically.
