Visible/Object/Drawing Lines
Dark, heavy lines.
Used to represent the outline or contour of the object being drawn.
Define features you can see in a particular view.
Lines
Hidden Lines
Light, narrow, short, dashed lines.
Shows the outline of a feature that cannot be seen in a particular view.
Lines
Center Lines
Thin line consisting of alternating long and short dashes.
Used to represent the center of round or cylindrical shape , or the symmetry of a feature.
• Center lines should start and end with long dashes.
Center lines should intersect by crossing either the long dashes or the short dashes.
For IS standard, center lines should intersect by crossing the long dashes.
Lines
Leader Lines
Thin lines used to connect a specific note to a feature.
Also used to direct dimensions, symbols, item number and part numbers on a drawing.
Commonly drawn at 45, 30 and 60 degrees.
Has a short shoulder (3-6mm) at one end.
Lines
Arrowheads
Used to terminate dimension lines and leader lines and on cutting-plane lines and
viewing plane lines.
They should be three times as long as they are wide.
They should be the same size throughout the drawing.
Lines
Break Lines
Break Lines are used to break out sections for clarity or for shortening a part.
Short Break Lines.
•Thick wavy line.
•Used to break the edge or surface of a part for clarity of a hidden surface.
Long Break Lines
•Long, thin lines.
•Used to show that the middle section of an object has been removed so it can be
drawn on a smaller piece of paper .
Lines
Phantom Lines
Thin lines made up of long dashes alternating with pairs of short dashes.
Three purposes in drawings:
1. To show the alternate position of moving parts.
2. To show the relationship of parts that fit together.
3. To show repeated detail.

Lettering & Numbering
• Lettering is defined as writing of titles, sub-titles, dimensions, etc. on
a drawing.
• To undertake production work of an engineering components as per
the drawing, the size and other details are indicated.
• Practice accompanied by continuous effort would improve the
lettering skill and style.
Lettering & Numbering
• Use all CAPITAL LETTERS
• Use even pressure to draw precise, clean lines
• Use one stroke per line
• Horizontal Strokes are drawn left to right
• Vertical Strokes are drawn downward
• Curved strokes are drawn top to bottom in one continuous stroke
on each side
• Use The Single-stroke, Gothic Style of Lettering
• Always Skip a Space Between Rows of Letters
• Always Use Very Light Guide Lines
Lettering
Numbering
Dimensioning
• The size description of drawing has to be provided
• The expression of these features on a drawing using lines, symbols,
figures and notes is called Dimensioning
Principles of Dimensioning
• All dimension information necessary to describe a component clearly
and completely shall be written directly
• Each feature shall be dimensioned once only on a drawing
• Dimension should be placed on the view where the shape is best
seen
• As far as possible, dimensions should be expressed in one unit (for
example, mm or inch or feet)
• Dimensions should be taken from visible outlines rather than from
hidden lines
