 Working, Detail, and Assembly Drawings
• DG drawings describe the geometry of elements of objects so
they can be designed
• Engineering drawings represent the objects so they can be
manufactured
• Working drawings document the design details established
in a legal contract
• They comprise all drawings required to manufacture the
finished design
• A detail drawing is a working drawing of a single
component, or detail, within the set of working drawings
• After parts have been manufactured according to the working
drawings, the assembly drawings show how the components
are to be assembled

 Three-View Drawings
• We use third-angle
projection
• Three-view drawings
typically, though not
always, consist of top,
front, and right-side views
• Imagine the object is
placed in the box and
orthographically projected
onto the three planes
• The box is then opened
into the frontal plane

 Three-View Drawings
• Width, Height, and Depth dimensions can be represented,
giving enough information to construct the object

 Arrangement of Views
• The three views must be arranged according to the projection
convention (first-angle or third-angle)
• Top and side views are projected from and aligned with the
front view

5
 Selection of Views
• The most descriptive view is usually selected to be the front view
• The remaining views are selected such that they contain the fewest
hidden lines
• If a tie occurs (say between the left and right-side views) use the
conventional view (top or right-side)

 Standard Drawing Layout

• The standard arrangement

for a technical drawing is
a three-view orthographic
projection:
• Top view is located
above front view
• Right view is located
to the right of front
view
• The views must be aligned
