TECHNICAL TERMS

Alphabet of lines are set of conventional line symbols used in orthographic

drawings.
Assembly Drawing is an orthographic drawing of an object with its parts
assembled.
Auxiliary view is an extra or helping view of an orthographic drawing
perpendicularly projected from an inclined surface.
Detail Drawing is a large-scale drawing that shows of part of a machine,
device, or building.
Exploded Drawing is the showing of items in a diagram, but with their
relative maintained positions.
Frontal plane is a plane where the front view is projected
in a single viewing.
Ground plane is the edge view of the ground upon which the object usually
rests.
Hem is used to strengthen the lips of sheet metal objects, made in 4 mm,
6mm, 10 mm, etc standard sizes.
Horizon represents the eye level of the observer.
Horizontal plane is a plane where the top view is projected approximately
as appear to the observer.
Isometric drawing is one view drawing showing its three faces with equal
measure.
Oblique projection is a kind of pictorial drawing of an object which surface
is parallel to the front plane while the others are oblique or inclined to it.
Parallel Development refers to measuring lines parallel to one another.
Examples are cube, cylinder and prism.
Pattern is a part or model used a s a guide for making something.
Offset Section shows the zigzag direction of the cutting plane if the
principal interior features of an object are not located in a straight line.
Orthographic is a graphic presentation of an object showing the three space
dimensions of an object in its true shape and size.
Pictorial drawing shows several faces of an object at once.
Projection is a view conceived to be drawn or projected onto a plane.
Radial development refers to measuring lines that converge at a certain
points for example are the pyramid and cone.

Seams are used to strengthen sheet metal sections. They are usually joined
by soldering and/ or riveting process.
Section is an orthographic view showing the inside view or construction of
an object.
Sectional view is a method of drawing presentation showing the interior
parts of the building especially when the inner parts is
complicated.
Vanishing point represents the center of vision.

LO1. Analyze signs, symbols and data

Drafting is said to be the universal language of industry and

modern technology. It is through the application of special lines and
symbols that drafters use so that technical people can communicate.
Through drawings, ideas and designs are transferred between
draftsmen, architects and engineers. The uniformity of lines and
symbols makes it possible to be widely accepted, thus, making
graphic technical drawing understandable anywhere in the world.

In a fast-developing country like the Philippines, many investors

are coming in so they need technical people to supervise factories and
offices. New products are introduced, hence, there is a great demand
for designs. The production of goods always starts from a design.
Ideas are presented by pictorial sketches in the initial stages of
creative work. Detailing is done with lines to represent all the features
of an object, such as its edges, surfaces and contours. Lines also form
the sizes, dimensions, symbols and notes to complete a description.

To understand the fundamental principles of drawing, acquired

desirable values are necessary. A draftsman should possess the ability
and the skills in using different drawing instruments. In general, it
helps him construct output with accuracy and speed.

MENSURATION

Every nation in the world has different ways of measuring

quality, weight and volume. This is necessary to carry out trade,
business or any form of economic exchange.
In 1960, countries from all over the world had started to use the
standard Metric System International d’ Unites or SI to promote
international trade. This is also called International Organization of
Weights and Measures. The basic units of SI are shown below.

INFORMATION SHEET # 2.1

LO 2. Interpret technical drawings and plans

Early Technical Drawing

Perhaps the earliest known technical drawing in existence is a

plan view of a fortress designed and engraved on a stone tablet by the
Chaldean engineer named Gudea. It is remarkable how similar this
plan is to those made by modern architects, although it was “drawn”
thousand of years before paper was invented.

Modern Technical Drawing

The first printed form of technical drawing was the Geometrical
Drawing published in 1849 by William Minifie. In 1876 the blueprint
process was introduced at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Up
to this time, the graphic language is considered more or less an art.
Some works were characterized by fine line drawings which were
made to resemble copper-plate engraved while others , by the use of
shade lines and water color “washes.” These technique become
unnecessary after the introduction of blueprinting. This was the
beginning of modern technical drawing . The graphic language now
became a relatively exact method of representation.

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION

An orthographic projection is a representation of separate views

of an object on a two-dimensional surface. It reveals the width, depth
and height of an object.
The projection is achieved by viewing the object from a point
assumed to be at infinity (an indefinitely great distance away). The line
of sight or projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to
the plane of projection.

22
www.shsph.blogspot.com

VISUALIZING ONE VIEW OF AN ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION

Three plane of projection

One can develop the skill in visualizing the views of an object by

imagining that the object is enclosed in a “glass box”. Each face of the
object is viewed perpendicularly to the projection plane. The views are
obtained by projecting the lines of sight to each plane of the glass box.
Since the glass box have six sides, six views of the object can be seen.

 Frontal Plane. The projection shown in the frontal plane is

called front view or front elevation.
 Horizontal Plane. The projection shown in this plane is called
top view or plan view.

23
www.shsph.blogspot.com
 Profile Plane. A projection at this plane is called the side view
or end view, or side or end elevation.

THE GLASS BOX

REPRESENTING THE
PLANES OF PROJECTION

Six principal views of an object

As we unfold the glass box, six views of the object are revealed:
top, front, right-side, left-side, rear, and bottom view. We assumed
that all of the pieces of the glass box are hinged to the front plane
except the rear plane being hinged to the left-side plane, as shown in
the illustration.

UNFOLDING THE GLASS BOX IN ONE PLANE SHOW

24
www.shsph.blogspot.com
THE SIX PRINCIPAL VIEWS OF AN OBJECT

The object is to be presented in two or more separate views

showing the three space dimension, the width, height and depth of
length. This drawing will be the source of information on the true
shape of the object on its top, front and side view of the objects.

In this projection the position of the three main views will be in

L shape. The top and front view is vertically aligned together while the
front view and right side view are horizontally aligned.

First and Third Angle Projection.

When an object is viewed through a plane of projection from a

point of infinity, an accurate outline of the visible face of the object is
obtained. However, the projection of one face usually will not provide
an overall description of the object so other planes of projection must
be used. Establishing an object’s true height, width, and depth
requires front, top, and side views, which are called the Principal
Planes Of Projection. These include the Vertical, Horizontal, and
Profile Planes, previously explained in Technical Drawing I. The angles
formed between the horizontal and the vertical planes are called the
FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, and FOURTH ANGLES. Currently, for
technical reasons, only the use of first- and third-angle projection is
practical to use.

In orthographic projection, drawings are referred to as “first-

angle” or “third-angle” projections. These two projections are derived
from a theoretical division of all space into four quadrants by a
vertical plane and a horizontal plane. The quadrants are numbered
from 1 to 4, starting from the upper front quadrants and continuing
clockwise when viewed from the right side. The viewer of the four
quadrants is considered to be in front of the vertical or frontal plane,
and above the horizontal plane.

VIEWS ARE PROJECTED FORWARD IN THIRD-ANGLE PROJECTION

27
www.shsph.blogspot.com
The position of the profile plane is not affected by the quadrants. It is
considered to be either to the right or left of the object as desired.

Third-angle projection is used in the United States and Canada. Most

European countries use first-angle projection. The difference between the
two is how the object is projected and the position of the views on the
drawing.
In third-angle projection, the projection plane is considered to be
between the viewer and the object, and the views are projected forward to
that plane. The top view appears above the front view, the right-side view is
to the right of the front view, the left view to the left of the front view, and so
on.

VIEWS ARE PROJECTED BACKWARD IN FIRST-ANGLE PROJECTION

In first-angle projection, the projection plane is on the far side of

the object. The views of the object are projected to the rear and onto
the projection plane instead of being projected forward.

The individual views are the same as those obtained in the

third-angle projection.

28
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Carefully study the symbols shown below. Normally a symbol is
drawn underneath that clearly shows which angle of projection has
been used.

SYMBOL FOR FIRST-ANGLE AND THIRD-ANGLE PROJECTION

The final arrangements of the views are shown in the drawing

below. Notice how the symbol for first angle orthographic projection
has been added to the drawing.

PICTORIAL DRAWING

Pictorial drawings are important elements of working drawing

because they show the graphic representation of an object as it
appears on the observer’s eyes.
Even a person who has no technical knowledge in technical
drawing, can easily understand the object being presented in the
drawing.

Three types of pictorial Projection

Axonometric- projection
Kinds of axonometric projection
 isometric pictorial projection

 dimetric pictorial projection

 trimetric pictorial projection

Perspective Drawing is the most natural presentation of an

object as it appear on the viewer’s eye.

Principles of Perspective Drawing.

1. All receding lines converge on a vanishing point.
2. The farther color, the lighter it appears.
3. The farther the object, lines, edges, the smaller they appears.
4. The object can be viewed in either birds eye view, men’s eye view
and worms eye view.

Bird’s Eye View Man’s Eye View or Eye level View Ant’s Eye View or Worm’s Eye View

5. The vanishing point and station point must be vertically aligned

together.
6. The two vanishing point must be located in the horizon.
7. The farther station point from the top plan, the bigger will the
perspective become.

Two Techniques of Perspective Presentation

1. Artist Method
2. Mechanical Method

51
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Types of Perspective Drawing
1. Parallel or One Point Perspective – its receding lines will
converge on a single vanishing point.
2. Angular or Two Point Perspective – its receding lines will
converge on two vanishing point.
3. Three Point Perspective – its receding lines converges on three
vanishing point.

Sectional View
Sectional view is a method of drawing presentation showing the
interior part part of the building especially when the inner parts are
complicated. The direction of the cutting plane line is the major
reference to consider in determining the form to be drawn. The parts
or portion of the object being imagined to be cut will be represented by
section lines.

Alphabet of lines needed in the construction of sectional views.

1. Visible-edge is a heavy line that can
be seen when viewing an object.

2. Cutting plane line is a thick short

dash line representing the imaginary
cut in the object.
3. Section line is a thin solid line at 450
representing solid parts of the object
that are being cut.
4. Short break line – thick solid lines
used for broken out section.

Principles of Sectioning
1. It shows the type of sectional view of the entire cut surface of
the view.
2. It shows more detailed illustrations particularly on the interval
parts of the object.
3. It describes the shape of the internal parts.

75

Detail Working Drawing is a technical drawing of a single part of

a machine or mechanism which is complete in dimension. It provides
sufficient technical foundation to allow the part to be made. This
drawing also show the details on how joints or fittings were executed
based on the drawings which were done in large scale.

Thing to be considered in making detailed drawings

 Identify the parts or joints to be drawn in detail.

 Encircle the parts to be drawn.
 Use leader line to pinpoint parts to be drawn in detail.
 Indicate notes that serve as reference of the part to be drawn in
detail.

Purposes of a Detailed Drawing

1. It describes the shapes of the object drawn.

2. It indicates the dimensions of the object drawn.
3. It provides any additional information that is required to make
the object drawn. Such additional information is usually shown
in the form of one or more notes.

Characteristics of a Detailed Working Drawing:

1. A detailed drawing can be drawn on a separate sheet.

2. Detailed drawing can usually be found beneath the assembly
drawing.
3. Detailed drawing should be drawn in larger scale to clearly show
the parts
4. Dimension in detailed drawing should be shown clearly.

WORKING DRAWING WITH BILL OF MATERIALS

Bill of materials is a list of items needed in the construction of a

piece of work or project. It includes the amount of each material in the
production of the structure.

The following steps in computing bill of materials.

1. Determine the measurement of the width, depth, length and

height of the project.
2. Total the length of all parts having the same sizes but differ in
length.
3. Convert the total length into foot/feet, by dividing the total
number of centimeter by 30.5

Example:

500 cm
30.5 = 16.39 ft.

4. Each piece of lumber should be converted to board foot / feet in

order to determine its price/amount.

Example:

2”x4”x16”
12 = 10.67 board feet (1piece only)

5. Number of board foot/feet should be multiplied by the unit price

per board foot in order to get the amount.

Example:

Unit price per board foot – P 40.00

P40.00 x 16.39 = P 655.60

6. For the other materials, know the unit price according to the
description of the item.

7. After computing the amount of various materials add them all to

determine the total amount .

Electronic and Electrical Symbols

We use graphic symbols on electrical and electronic diagrams to

show the components and workings in a circuit. Graphic symbols for
electrical engineering are shorthand way to show through drawings
how a circuit works or how the parts of the circuit are connected. A
graphic symbol shows what part it does in the circuit. Drafters use
graphic symbols on single-line (one-line) diagrams, on schematic
diagrams, or on connection or wiring diagrams. You can relate graphic
symbols with part lists, descriptions, or instructions by marking the
symbols.
