    LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

    Alphabet of lines
    Background information for learners

    A drawing is made up of different lines. Each line represents something.


    A surface, a hidden surface, an extension of a surface, a center of a hole, or a
    line with dimension on it. In order to make the drawing easier to read and
    understand, each kind of line is drawn with a different line weight.

    ALPHABET OF LINES

    1. OBJECT OR VISIBLE LINES – Thick dark line use to show outline of


    object, visible edges and surfaces.

    2. CONSTRUCTION LINE – Very light and thin line use to construct layout
    work.

    3. DIMENSION LINE – Thin and dark lines use to show the size (span) of an
    object with a numeric value. Usually terminates with arrowheads or tick
    markings.

    4. HIDDEN LINE – Short dash lines use to show non visible surfaces.
    Usually shows as medium thickness.

    5. CENTER LINE – Long and short dash lines. Usually indicates center of
    holes, circles and arcs. Line is thin and dark.

    6. EXTENSION LINE – Thin and dark line use to show the starting and
    ending of dimension.

    7. CUTTING PLANE LINE – Extra thick lines use to show cutaway views or
    plane of projection where a section view is taken. Arrow indicates
    the direction of view.
    8. SHORT AND LONG BREAK LINES –Short and long medium line use to
    show
    cutaway view of a long section.

    9. LEADER LINE – Medium line with arrowhead to show notes or label for
    size or special information about a feature.

    10. PHANTOM LINE – Long line followed by two short dashes use to show
    alternate position of a moving part.

    11. SECTION LINE – Medium lines drawn at 45 degrees use to show interior
    view of solid areas of cutting plane line.
