An Introduction

Engineering Drawing
Importance

Graphic Language & Effectiveness

Try writing the description of these

pictures

Graphic Language & Effectiveness

..Or these pictures

And let someone attempt to make a sketch or visualize

from your description.

Graphic Language & Effectiveness

It can be found that
The word language is
inadequate
for describing the
size,
size shape and features
completely as well as concisely.

Engineering Drawing
Process

Engineering Drawing
In Design Process
Visualization
Visualize

Problem identification
& exploration of ideas

is the ability to mentally

picture things that do not
exist

Sketches

Draw , design and

record initial ideas

Communication

Geometric model

Created from sketches

used or analysis

Detail drawings
&
3D model

Refine, optimize
& record the precise
data for production
process or
implementation

the design solution

should be communicated
to others without
ambiguity

Documentation
permanent record of the
solution

Engineering Drawing
Standards

Standards Definition
Drawing standards are set of rules that govern how
technical drawings are represented.

Why Necessary
Drawing standards are used so that drawings convey
the same meaning to everyone who reads them.

Drawing Scale

Drawing Scales : Definition

Length, size

Scale is a ratio between the linear dimension of a

drawn representation of an object and the actual object.

Actual

Drawing Scales : Designation

Designation of a scale consists of the word SCALE
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follows
SCALE 1:1 for full size
SCALE X:1 (X > 1) for an enlargement scales
SCALE 1:X (X > 1) for a reduction scales

Drawing scale is commonly found in a title block.

Drawing Scales : Standard scale

Standard reducing scales are
1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100

Standard enlarging scales are

2:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1

Engineering Drawing
Lettering

Recommendation
Texts style on the drawing
must have the following
2 properties

Examples
GOOD
Not uniform in style.

Legibility
- Shape

Not uniform in height.

- Space between letters

- Space between words

Uniformity
- Size (or text height)
- line thickness

Not uniformly vertical.

Not uniform in
thickness of stroke.
Inappropriate space
between letters

Style (this course)

Gothic vertical style.
Begin the sentence, phrase or word with a capital letter.
Text height 2~3 mm.
Space between lines of text is about of text height.
Height of the lower-case letter is about 2/3 of that of a
capital letter.

Basic Strokes

Sentence Composition
Leave the space between words equal to the space
requires for writing a letter O.

represent features that can be seen in the current view.

2. Dimension line
Extension line indicate the sizes and location of features.
Leader line
3. Hidden line

represent features that can not be seen in the current view.

4. Center line

represents symmetry, path of motion, centers of circles,

axis of axisymmetrical parts
