Introduction to Drawing and Drafting Techniques

Drafting is a universal language that uses lines, symbols,

dimensions and notes to describe a structure to be built.

Line
Types of Lines Lines are the primary method of displaying images on architectural drawings. There are a variety of line types found on drawings. Each type of line conveys a meaning in the way it is represented and its placement on the drawing. There are basically two widths of lines commonly found on an architectural drawing; Thin and Thick. Thicker lines are meant to be more dominant. Thinner lines are equally important but are usually subordinate to the lines used to create the plan.

Line
Construction Lines Construction lines are used for laying out the drawing. They are drawn very lightly so they do not reproduce. Drawn with very little pressure using a pencil with 4H to 6H lead. If drawn properly, they do not need to be erased. Use construction lines for all preliminary work.

Line
Guidelines Similar to construction lines in that they should be drawn lightly (so as not to be reproduced) Used for manual lettering

Line
Object Lines Are a specific thickness so they stand out from the other lines Form the outline and characteristic features of architectural plan components Object lines can be drawn with a drafting pencil, a mechanical pencil or 0.5mm 0.9mm automatic pencil using 2H, H or F lead

Line
Hidden Lines (aka Dashed Lines) Used to allow features that are not visible in the view or plan Subordinate to the main features of the drawing Drawn about 1/8 to 3/8 in length with a space of about 1/16 to 1/8 Hidden lines are thin Recommended leads for drawing hidden lines are 0.5mm automatic pencil with 2H or H lead, or a sharp drafting pencil or mechanical lead holder with 4H, 2H or H lead -------------------------------------------

Line Extension Lines and Dimension Lines

Extension lines show the extent of a dimension
Dimension lines show the length of the dimension and terminate at

the related extension lines with slashes, arrowheads, or dots Dimensions (in feet and inches or millimeters) are usually place just above and near the center of the dimension line Extension lines start a short distance (such as 1/16) away from the feature being dimensioned and typically run 1/8 beyond the last dimension line. When dimensioning to a feature such as the center of a window, the center of the line become an extension line. Extension lines and dimension lines are generally thin, dark, crisp lines that can be drawn with a sharp pencil, mechanical lead holder, or a 0.5mm automatic pencil using 4H, 2H or H lead depending on the amount of pressure you are

Line
Leader Lines Thin, dark, crisp lines Used to connect notes to related features on a drawing Can be drawn freehand, with an irregular curve or with drafting tools The leader should start from the vertical center at the beginning or end of a note and should terminate with an arrowhead at the feature

Line
Break Lines Are used to remove a portion of an object to show partial view or to shorten a long object

Lettering
Basic terminology associated with Lettering Composition: Spacing, Layout, and appearance of the lettering Justify: Means to align the text Lettering: Traditional handmade letters and numbers on a drawing Text: Term of lettering done using CADD Font: A complete assortment of any one size and style of lettering or text Text Style: A set of text characters, such as font, height, width, and angle Architectural lettering follows less strict principles utilizing an artistic style
