 What’s In

On the previous lesson, you have learned all about mensuration and
calculation, and also ask to perform the task about measuring an object.

Before we proceed to this lesson, let me ask you some questions. How
do you prepare yourself for a day, like during breakfast? What preparations
were given to you by your parents? Were you asked to get the onions and garlic
in the kitchen because you would be cooking your favorite “Isdang Paksiw” for
the breakfast? Did your parents tell you to wash the cooking utensils before
using?

In the world of Technical Drafting, always prepare yourself for tasks that
you will be performing, even if it is time-pressured, since seeking immediate
accuracy and presentable output is very necessary.

One of the constant elements made in Technical Drafting is making of

lines. For sure, you only knew about straight and curve lines. But there is more
information about lines. And that is the first thing you must know in this lesson.
You need to identify the different kinds of lines and their meaning.

 What’s New

Attached in this module are drawing templates and portfolio of the

drawing activities that you are going to perform. For you to start with, perform
the following:

 What is It

LINES
Line is one of the basic elements of art along with color, form, texture,
value, volume, and perspective. In Basic Math, you can create a line just by
connecting two points. Line signifies many meanings and translations. Look at
your palm. Every line signifies meaning of your life.

We see or portray lines in the objects of nature. They are either visible
or imaginative. We use them to draw the forms of object or to track direction of
movements. They give mental suggestions whether we are conscious of it or
not.

There are two types of lines: Straight and Curved Lines.

Straight Line

Curved Line

KINDS OF STRAIGHT LINES

1. Vertical Line. Gives the quality of dignity, royalty, and jubilance.

2. Horizontal Line. Gives the idea of stability, stagnancy, and tranquility.

3. Diagonal Line. Suggests action, progress, and ascension.

4. Broken Lines. Suggest conflict, violence, speed, and struggle.

4
TYPES OF CURVED LINES
1. Restrained Curve. One with a subtle bend as the shape of a woman’s
body.

2. Simple Curve. Has more pronounced bend than the restrained curve.

3. Full Curve. More forceful than the first two and follows movements of
the letter “c”.

4. Compound Curve. Changes the bend towards the opposite direction

which follows the graceful movements of letter “S”.

ALPHABET OF LINES

In drawing and drafting, lines are used to emphasize clearly and

understand well what is being drawn. In the same way that letters are related
to words, lines describe drawings.
Lines are characterized according to their forms (shape) and weight
(thickness or thinness).
Usually, medium soft pencils (F or H) are used for thick lines, while
slightly hard pencils (2H) are used for thinner lines. These lines are often called
“Alphabet” of lines. The figures below will show how each line looks like and
explains their uses and characteristics.

1. Hidden Lines. Used to show surfaces, edges, or corners of an object

that are hidden from view. HL are invisible medium weight lines used to
designate or represent certain
parts or edges of objects which
are not visible in a drawing; it
has dashes 1/8” long and
spaces that are 1/16” apart.

5
2. Center Line. To designate the center of an arc, a circle or symmetrical
objects, this kind of line is used consisting of light weight short (1/8”) and
long dashes (3/4”).

3. Extension and Dimension Lines. Light lines, with dimension numbers

between each line ending with arrowheads to indicate the end of the
specified dimension, the limit of which is designated by the extension
lines.

4. Leader Lines. Leader lines are used to indicate the part of the drawing
to which a note refers. Arrowheads touch the object lines while the dot
rests on a surface.

5. Long Break Lines. These lines indicate that the structure had been cut
for being too big for the paper used, and the object is symmetrical in all
parts of the design. This is drawn in a straight thin form with a freehand
zigzag.

6
6. Short Break Lines. This is a solid thick line equivalent to an object line
that is drawn in freehand. It shows a break in a specific part of the object,
as in sectioning and irregular breaks of the object.

7. Cutting Plane Lines. Used when an imaginary cut through an object is

to be along the line. It consists of long dashes between a short dash
(1/8”).

8. Visible Lines. Show the outline of the object (in medium weight) once it
has been drawn; thus, otherwise known as “object lines”.

9. Section Lines. They are also light weight lines and drawn fully to show
a clear cut of a part showing the kind of material used for the object.

7
 ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
This is a projection with all the views arranged at right angles to each
other. It completely describes the given object in size and in design. It is
generally used as basis for all working drawings.
We have previously started that to construct an object, or project, it has
to be planned and drawn accurately. This can be done in multiple views where
the drawing shows the top, front, and side views of the object in a certain angle.
In this kind of drawing, an object is drawn according to how we see it,
such that, viewed in front, we can see the width and height; on the top, length
and the depth or width; on the side, its height, width, and thickness. If the three
views of an object could be drawn, we would get the exact information needed
to form or construct an object.
The following figures will show on how an orthographic projection is
drawn.

1. Let us presume that a block is found inside a glass case.

2. The view of an object is projected against the casing of the glass box.
3. If we shall open the casing on the top and the sides, we will then have
the three views of the block.

In an orthographic drawing therefore, we must try to remember that:

1. The top view (TV) shows only the shape of the object.
2. The front view (FV) shows the other forms by ways of hidden lines.
3. We must show only the most important views; two views may be
sufficient, and at most, three, but seldom more than three.
4. The front view is drawn on the LOWER LEFT PORTION of the drawing;
the TOP VIEW is directly aligned on top of the front view.
5. The HEIGHT and WIDTH of the object must be seen on the front view;
the WIDTH and LENGTH on the top view; and the HEIGHT, WIDTH and
THICKNESS on the side view.

8
 6. The whole drawing or projection must be on the left and the assembly
drawing (isometric or oblique drawing of the object) must be on the right.
7. A space of from 12 – 25 mm (3/4” – 1”) must be given for each view.

WAYS IN PRESENTING ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING

1. GLASS BOX APPROACH

• Place the object in a glass box.

• Freeze the view from each direction (each of the six sides of the box)
and unfold the box.

9
10
11
2. 45 X 45 TRIANGLE METHOD
 Draw the overall dimensions of the front view of the object.
 Measure 15 cm from the top corner of the front view, then do the
same thing as the first method.
 Complete the necessary details in front and top view.
 Create construction lines (light lines) sideways (regardless of the
dimensions).
 Position the tip of the 45 x 45 triangle at the upper right of the
front view.
 Project the intersections to create the right-side view of the
object.
 Input all dimensions.

3. COMPASS METHOD
 Draw the overall dimensions of the front view of the object.
 Measure 15 cm from the top corner of the front view, then do the
same thing as the first method.
 Complete the necessary details in front and top view.
 Create construction lines (light lines) sideways (regardless of the
dimensions).
 Position the needle tip of the compass at the upper right of the
front view. Position also the pencil tip at the right corner of the
top view.
 Twist the pencil tip of the compass downwards.
 Project the intersections to create the right-side view of the
object.
 Input all dimensions.

 DIMENSIONING

This topic is focused on the study of the details of dimensioning a

drawing both orthographic and isometric views. It includes the systems used in
dimensioning, placement, and constructions of lines and figures, arrangement
of figures in laying out sizes and the basic rules in dimensioning.
The emphasis in this study is on machine dimension, which is a little
complicated than architectural dimensions.

DIMENSION – the measurement of the size, or the description of the

size of the given model. Its purpose is to give the exact proportion of the parts
and their respective relations.

HISTORY OF MEASUREMENTS
When some of the basic measurement practices were first exercised in
the field, the units of measure were more on practical objects. The period then
was known later as the “Rule of the Thumb”, using different symbols.

1. One Inch. This was the first defined as the width of the thumb. It is
equivalent to 3 rounds of dried barley corns. It was first practiced in
England and later accepted as 1/36th of a yard.
2. One Foot. This is equivalent to the length of a man’s foot, or 1/3 yard.
3. Cubic. This is the length of man’s forearm. It is believed to be about
18” in length, as of our present measure. It gained distinction during
the time of Noah and the famous arc.
4. Meter. This was first adopted in 1793 in France, the time when
Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power. It is a unit of measure equivalent
to 39.37”.
5. Yard. This was legally defined in 1824 in England by their law.
These units were used for some time until equivalent decimals and
fractions and other modifications, including the inventions of modern devices
were introduced for a more accurate, practical, and time saving equipment.

PURPOSE OF DIMENSIONING
1. A dimension shows the actual size of the object quickly. Scaling or the
actual measurement is not needed to discover the exact sizes of parts
when a set of dimensions is already indicated.
2. It eliminates minor errors that are often made and that which cannot be
avoided in scaling.
3. It is adaptable. Unscaled drawings can still bear dimensions equal to the
object drawn to a definite scale, like sketches.
4. It is readable and could easily be understood by a layman, or any
individual who has little or no knowledge about scaling.

13
SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENTS USED
There are 2 major systems used in measuring, both in the old and new
world.
1. METRIC SYSTEM. (meter, centimeter, kilometer, millimeter, etc.)
This is a system used in measuring capitalizing on centimetre as
a unit. It is called the “International System of Units”. It is one of the
standard measures in the European countries. It is proven to be an
easier system since there are only 10 units smaller or bigger to the next
unit. This is fully divided at its entire length.
This system is already accepted in the United State of America
and is now recognized in the Philippines as an official unit of measure.
Thus, we are now in the metrication stage, leaving the English system
as part only of our history.
2. ENGLISH SYSTEM. (Inch, foot,
yard, etc.)
This is a system of
measure using an inch as a unit.
It is called the U.S. customary
system. This was the old standard
in the U.S.A., and of course
Philippines.

KINDS OF DIMENSIONS.
Dimensions are classified according to their uses and the application, as
follows:

1. SIZE DIMENSION. This gives the exact measurements of the object

defining a small piece. It answers the
question “How much” in a working
drawing.
a. DETAIL or PART DIMENSION.
This is a partial size dimension.
It is the measurement that
gives the size of the minute
part of the object drawn.
b. OVER-ALL or TOTAL
DIMENSION. This is the total
of all detailed dimensions. It
gives the whole size of the object.
2. LOCATION DIMENSION. This tells the relative position of the part
dimensioned, like a small arc or circle. It is represented with a pointer or
a dimension line. It answers “Where” in a drawing other than telling “How
much”.

14
SYSTEMS OF DIMENSIONING USED.
The position of the numbers in a dimension is arranged based on the
desired system as to the workers’ choice, convenience of the space available
and the specific uses.
1. ALIGNED SYSTEM. This is a system where the figures are in line with
the dimension lines. This is in general use for almost all of the drafting
works. It is also preferred for aircraft, automotive, and other related
works using a very wide sheet where reading at the bottom is too difficult
for the dimensions on top. Dimension numbers are both read from the
right side of the paper and at the base.
2. UNIDIRECTIONAL SYSTEM. This is a system where all numbers are
read at the
bottom of the
sheet, like
notes. Fraction
bars here are
all drawn with
the plane of the
paper.

ARRANGEMENT OF DIMENSION FIGURES

1. CONTINUOUS (Aligned) SYSTEM. All the figures here are in line with
each other forming a column. This is applicable if the figures are only
few. Rather it is a poor practice in a series of parallel dimensions.
2. STAGGERED SYSTEM. In this idea, the figures are not arranged in line
but at random. This is a preferred practice in multiple dimensions, as
recommended. The major objective here is readability of the figures.
