    Drawing 3 - Isometric

    Uploaded by

    Pirene Zuniga
    The document provides guidelines for dimensioning engineering drawings to produce clear and professional standards. It outlines general rules such as using narrow continuous lines for dimensions and wider lines for outlines. Dimensions should be placed outside outlines with small gaps and extension lines extending past dimension lines. Arrowheads should be uniform in size and touch dimension lines. Dimensions are written in millimeters with a minimum number of significant figures and decimals marked with a zero. Leader lines indicate specific features, terminating in arrows for points or dots within outlines. Dimensions are best placed to give the clearest understanding of a component's shape and size outside its profile if space permits.

    illustrate the aspects of dimensioning.

    When components are drawn in orthographic projection, a


    choice often exists where to place the dimensions and the
    following general rules will give assistance.
    1. Start by dimensioning the view which gives the clearest
    understanding of the profile or shape of the
    component.
    2. If space permits, and obviously this varies with the size
    and degree of complexity of the subject, place the
    dimensions outside the profile of the component as
    first choice.
    3. Where several dimensions are placed on the same side
    of the drawing, position the shortest dimension
    nearest to the component and this will avoid
    dimension lines crossing.
    4. Try to ensure that similar spacings are made between
    dimension lines as this gives a neat appearance on the
    completed drawing.
    5. Overall dimensions which are given for surfaces that
    can be seen in two projected views are generally best
    positioned between these two views.
    Figure shows a component which has been partly
    dimensioned to illustrate some of the principles
    involved.

    6. Dimensions are quoted in millimetres to the


    minimum number of significant figures. For
    example, 19 and not 19.0. In the case of a decimal
    dimension, always use a nought before the
    decimal marker, which might not be noticed on a
    drawing print that has poor line definition. We
    write 0.4 and not .4. It should be stated here that
    on metric drawings the decimal marker is a
