Auxiliary View: EGM 2161 Engineering Drawing 2-Mechanical Engineering

Auxiliary views are additional views used to clearly define surfaces that are not parallel to the principal planes of orthographic projection. To draw an auxiliary view, 1) draw the front and plan views, 2) draw a reference line perpendicular to the viewing direction, 3) transfer vertical distances measured from the reference line in the front view to corresponding points in the plan view and reflect them to the auxiliary view, 4) measure the same distances from the reference line in the auxiliary view to complete it. Curves can be projected onto an auxiliary view by dividing them into strips and positioning the end points of each strip segment.

Auxiliary View

Sometimes a component has surfaces that are not parallel with any of the principal
planes of orthographic projection. It therefore cannot be clearly defined or
dimensioned.













To draw those surfaces, additional views are required, showing the surfaces as they
appear when directly looked at. These views are auxiliary views.


To draw the Auxiliary View (between the front and end view)

1. Draw the Front View and Plan View.
2. Draw the chosen reference line XX
in the Front View and in auxiliary
views at right angles to the
direction of viewing.
3. Transfer all required vertical
distances measured from XX
in the Front View along
projectors to the relevant
points in the Plan View.
Reflect them to the
Auxiliary View.
4. Measure the same distances
from the reference line XX
in the Auxiliary View.
5. Join the points obtained to
complete the Auxiliary View.

To draw the Auxiliary View (between the end view and plan view)

The method is similar to that of auxiliary
view between the front and end view.

















Curves can be simply projected by dividing them into strips. The points at the ends of
the separate ordinates are positioned on the auxiliary view and a curve drawn through
them.
