I. Learning Competency

Interpret technical drawings and plans (TLE_ICTTD7/8MC-0i-2)

II. Objectives

1. Identify necessary materials according to the technical drawing

2. Recognize components, assemblies, or objects based on job requirements
3. Identify dimensions and specifications according to job requirements

III. Background Information

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
This is a projection with all the views arranged at right angles to each other. It
completely describes the given object in size and design. It is generally used as the
basis for all working drawings.
We have previously stated that in order to construct an object, or project, it has
to be planned and drawn accurately. This can be done in multiple views where the
drawing shows the top, front and side views of the object at a certain angle.
In this kind of drawing, an object is drawn according to how to we see it, such
that, viewed in front, we can see the width and height; on the top, length and the depth
or width; on the side, its height, width and thickness. If the three views of an object
could be drawn, we would get the exact information needed to form or construct an
object.

1
 The following figures will show how an orthographic projection is drawn.

1. Let us presume that a block is inside a glass case.

2. The view of an object is projected against the casing of the glass box.
3. If we shall open the casing on the top and the sides, we will then have the three
views of the block.

In an orthographic drawing therefore, we must try to remember that:

1. The top view (TV) shows only the shape of the object.
2. The front view (FV) shows the other forms by ways of hidden lines.
3. We must show only the most important views; two views may be sufficient, and
at most, three, but seldom more than three.
4. The front view is drawn on the LOWER LEFT PORTION of the drawing; the
TOP VIEW is directly aligned on top of the front view.

2
 5. The HEIGHT and WIDTH of the object must be seen on the front view; the
WIDTH and LENGTH on the top view; and the HEIGHT, WIDTH and
THICKNESS on the side view.
6. The whole drawing or projection must be on the left and the assembly drawing
(isometric or oblique drawing of the object) must be on the right.
7. A space of from 12 – 25 mm (3/4” – 1”) must be given for each view.

PRESENTING ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING THROUGH THE GLASS

BOX APPROACH

Procedure:
• Place the object in a glass box

• Freeze the view from each direction (each of the six sides of the box) and unfold
the box

 DIMENSIONING

Dimension is the measurement of the size, or the description of the size of the
given model. Its purpose is to give the exact proportion of the parts and their respective
relations.
PURPOSE OF DIMENSIONING
1. A dimension shows the actual size of the object quickly. Scaling or the actual
measurement is not needed to discover the exact sizes of parts when a set of
dimensions is already indicated.
2. It eliminates minor errors that are often made and that which cannot be avoided
in scaling.
3. It is adaptable. Unscaled drawings can still bear dimensions equal to the object
drawn to a definite scale, like sketches.
4. It is readable and could easily be understood by a layman, or any individual
who has little or no knowledge about scaling.

KINDS OF DIMENSIONS

Dimensions are classified according to their uses and the application, as

follows:
1. SIZE DIMENSION. This
gives the exact
measurements of the
object defining a small
piece. It answers the
question “How much” in a
working drawing.
a. DETAIL or PART
DIMENSION. This
is a partial size
dimension. It is
the measurement
that gives the size
of the minute part
of the object
drawn.
b. OVER-ALL or
TOTAL DIMENSION. This is the total of all detailed dimensions. It
gives the whole size of the object.
2. LOCATION DIMENSION. This tells the relative position of the part
dimensioned, like a small arc or circle. It is represented with a pointer or a
dimension line. It answers “Where” in a drawing other than telling “How much”.

SYSTEMS OF DIMENSIONING USED

The position of the numbers in a dimension is arranged based on the desired

system as to the workers’ choice, the convenience of the space available and the
specific uses.
1. ALIGNED SYSTEM. This is a system where the figures are in line with the
dimension lines. This is in general use for almost all of the drafting works. It is
also preferred for aircraft, automotive and other related works using a very wide
sheet where reading at the bottom is too difficult for the dimensions on top.
Dimension numbers are both read from the right side of the paper and at the
base.

2. UNIDIRECTIONAL SYSTEM. This is a system where all numbers are read at

the bottom of the sheet, like notes. Fraction bars here are all drawn with the
plane of the paper.

7
ARRANGEMENT OF DIMENSION FIGURES

1. CONTINUOUS (Aligned) SYSTEM. All the figures here are in line with each
other forming a column. This is applicable if the figures are only few. Rather it
is a poor practice in a series of parallel dimensions.

2. STAGGERED SYSTEM. In this idea, the figures are not arranged in line but at
random. This is a preferred practice in multiple dimensions, as recommended.
The major objective here is readability of the figures.

III. Direction
Read and understand the information given and carefully read the instructions
before doing the succeeding tasks.
IV. Activities
Activity 1: LABEL THE VIEWS. In this task, you are going to label the views of the objects
provided by using any colouring materials you have. You may use any of the mediums:
● CRAYONS,
● WATER COLOR
● COLORING PENCILS/COLORING PENS.
Use RED for TOP VIEW, BLUE for FRONT VIEW, GREEN for RIGHT SIDE VIEW.
Understand and visualize the object carefully.

 Activity 2: Provide the Dimension. In this activity, you are going to give the dimensions of
the following objects.

For this square object, add

a.
the width dimension of 40.
Activity 3: DRAW ME!

answer

For this rectangular object, add

b.
the width dimension of 60 and
height dimension of 30.

c. For this object, provide the appropriate

dimension. Provide for your own values.

10
 Activity 3: In this activity, you will draw the orthographic projection of the
following object. Provide the dimensions as well.

V. Reflection
Orthographic projection is the projection with all the views arranged at right
angles to each other. It describes the given object in size and design and it used as
the basis for all working drawings. There are three in presenting orthographic drawing:
the glass box approach (which is presented in this lesson), the 45 x 45 triangle method
and the compass method.
Dimensioning is focused on the study of the details of dimensioning a drawing
both orthographic and isometric views. It includes the systems used in dimensions,
placement, and constructions of lines and figures, the arrangement of figures in laying
out sizes, and the basic rules in dimensioning. Dimensions are classified according to
their uses and the application, as follows: size dimension and location dimension.
