 Standards

Paper Sizes
The ISO most recommended paper sizes for technical
drawings are known as A-FORMATS. Other series, like
the B-Series, are of lesser importance. In the A-Format
series, the largest size is A0. The size of an A1 paper is
half the size of A0 while A2 is half the size of A1 and so
forth.. For technical drawings A4 is considered to be the
smallest paper size. Smaller-sized AFormat papers (i.e.
.A5, A6, etc) are very rarely used for technical drawings

 The A-Format Paper Sizes

When a format smaller than A4 is

needed, it is obtained by simply Sheet mm Format
halving A$ along its longer side. For 841 X 1189 A0
instance A5 has 210-mm as its
longer side and (297/2 = 148- mm) 594 X 841 A1
. .as its shorter side 420 X 594 A2
297 X 420 A3
Format A4 is exclusively used in an
210 X 297 A4
upright position. The other formats
(which are lager in size than A4) …… …….
may be used in an upright position
or horizontal position. .

 Title Block
In every engineering drawing, a Title Block is included at the
bottom (right-hand corner). The Title Blocks are locally
standardized but should be designed in such a way that it can
be easily understood. The information needed in any standard
Title Block is normally: .

 Basic Instruments and Equipment
T-Square
This is one of the oldest drawing instruments that still finds wide spread use
both in the industry and in schools.

The size of a T-Square is determined by its blade length. Blade lengths of 60-
mm, 90-mm, 120- mm and 150-mm are common.

USES: The T-Square is used primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal parallel
lines.

 Set Square
Set Squares (SSs) are transparent, triangular-shaped drawing instruments that
are used with a T-Square for drawing vertical or inclined lines.
SSs contain angles most commonly used in technical drawing, i.e. 30, 45, 60
and 90.
The height/length of SSs is typically 15-cm, 20-cm, and 25-cm.

 Line Types
In Engineering Drawing, we make use of different lines and line styles to
convey the desired message. These lines differ in (i) thickness and (ii) style.
Typical uses of these lines are summarized below.

 Starting AutoCAD 2002

a) from the Windows ‘Start screen’ with a double left-click on the AutoCAD 2002 icon
b) by selecting the windows taskbar sequence::
Start-Programs-AutoCAD 2002-AutoCAD 2002
Both methods briefly display the AutoCAD 2002 logo and then the AutoCAD 2002 Today
screen/dialogue box as Fig, .
