Drawing
Detail Drawing
• A detail represents a small part of the whole.
• the detail drawing deals with a small part which is shown in greater detail.
• A detail drawing is a tool used by professionals to communicate their
designs to manufacturers and to preserve their work for future generations.
• A detail drawing is a two-dimensional representation of an engineer's design
that contains all the information needed to precisely reproduce it.
Detail Drawing

• It contains a shape description, which shows or describes the shape of the

part.
• It contains a size description, which shows the size and location of features
on the part.
• It contains specifications regarding items such as material

Tolerances

Tolerance can be defined as

the difference between the
maximum and minimum limits
of size. In this view, two
tolerances are shown

Dimensional Units Used

-The units are used throughout the drawing. In this case, millimeters are used.
However other metric or imperial units may be used
Scale

-Wall Bracket drawing shows the scale to which the drawing is drawn
within the title block as is required by AS1100
Drawing sheet references

In the example above please note that this is, “SHEET 1 of 1” i.e. only one
sheet is required to adequately define the detail design on a single sheet of
A2 .

Name or Title of the Drawing/Drawing Number

Company Name
Names and Dates

Engineering designs are the work of many people within an organisation. The initials or names
indicate who was responsible for the various duties. In the above title block, DRN indicate who
was responsible for drafting the drawing. The initials CKD indicate who checked the drawing.
Usually this task is completed by a highly experienced drafter or the chief drafter in a drawing
office. The initials APPD indicate who approved the drawing. This signatory is usually the project
engineer who overseas the entire project. The title “ISSUED” is the final approval which would
be signed off by a senior or chief engineer.
Materials and Treatments

Engineering designs are highly dependant on the material from which they are
manufactured. Clearly this is something that must be stated in the drawing as it vital
information that must be passed on to the manufacturer of the part and many other
parties. This information is normally stated in the title block. If the information is
extensive a separate note located in the drawing or a separate data sheet may be
used.
Type of projection

-Wall Bracket drawing shows the Third Angle Projection Symbol. The conical cylinder
represents the orientation of views that should be reflected in your drawings

2.Hatching-
Hatching is used to
improve the legibility and
unify the presentation of
sectional areas in layout
and section drawings.

-The dimension line
is a straight solid
line that runs
parallel to the
drawn object to
which it relates.
