Analyze Signs, Symbols, and Data

I. Learning Competency

LO.1. Analyze signs, symbols and data (TLE_ICTTD7/8TD-0h-1)

II. Objectives
3. Identify signs and symbols used in technical drawing
4. Analyze data indicated in the technical drawing

III. Background Information

One of the constant elements made in Technical Drafting is the making of lines.
There’s more to know about lines aside from straight lines and curves.

LINES
A 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.

We see or portray lines in the objects of nature. They are either visible or
imaginative. We use them to draw the forms of objects or to track the direction of
movements. They give mental suggestions on 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. Give the quality of dignity, royalty and jubilance.

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

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

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

1
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 the 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 an object which are not visible in a drawing;
consist of dashes 1/8” long and spaced 1/16” apart.

2
2. Center Line. To designate the center of an arc, a circle or symmetrical objects,
this kind of line is used consisting of lightweight 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. Leaders 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.

3
5. Long Break Lines. This line indicates 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. 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.4

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. Are also lightweight lines and drawn fully to show a clear cut of
a part showing the kind of material used for the object.

IV. Direction

Activity 3: For you to practice your freehand drawing skills, perform the following task.
This activity is to test the flexibility of your hands, accuracy, focus and neatness of your
work. Extreme focus and concentration is the key in accomplishing the task. Neatness
is a must to achieve perfection in this work.
Your task is to draw lines similar to the drawings below. The materials that you
need are bond paper, pencil and eraser.

VI. Reflection
Most of the signs and symbols in technical drafting are represented by lines. A
line is one of the basic elements of art along with color, form, texture, value, volume
and perspective. A line can be straight or curved.
Alphabet of lines are set of conventional line symbols, which have different
weights, thickness, forms and uses.
