PROJECTION
TECHNICAL TERMS
Orthographic - is a method of
representing three
dimensions
Projection- is an object on a
plane having only length and
breadth.
Right Angle – is an angle with a
measure of 90 degrees.
Dimension – is a radial or linear length
(width, height, depth) labeled on a
technical drawing
Measurement – is the process or result
of measuring anything.
 Metric system of measurement – is an
international system of
measurement
Length: Millimeter (mm), Decimeter (dm), Centimeter (cm), Meter (m), and Kilometer (km) are
used to measure how long or wide or tall an object is.
 English system of measurement- is an
American standard system
of measurement
the basic units for length or distance measurements in the English system are the inch, foot,
yard, and mile.
Metric – pertains to the metric system
of measurement
Dimensioning – is an act of measuring a
drawing

VISIBLE LINES
– Used to show visible edges
HIDDEN LINES
Represented by a series of
medium weight dashes used
to show the hidden or
invisible edges of an object.
CENTER LINES
Used to show the centers of
holes of circular object or
shape.
SECTION LINES
Used to show a surface that
has been cut in a section
view.
EXTENSION LINES
Indicates the limit
of a dimension line
DIMENSION LINES
Used to show the size (dimensions) of an
object; spans from one extension line to the
next, has arrowhead at both ends, and is
broken in the middle from the measurement
number (dimension).
LEADER LINES
Used to direct descriptive
major information, notes, or
special dimensions to
features on the drawing and
done mechanically
CUTTING-PLANE LINES
BREAK LINES
Used to show that part of
the object has been
removed or broken away
S H O RT B R E A K L I N E S
are for freehand, jagged
lines and applicable for
small objects only.
LONG BREAK LINES
are solid with a Z symbol
inserted in several places and
done mechanically and
applicable for big objects only.

Height is the distance

elevation from top to
bottom.
Width is the distance from
left side to the right side.
Depth is the distance from
front to rear.
