DRAFTING PRACTICES
PRACTICAL 0 0 4 2

COMMON TO ALL BRANCHES

PART – A : MANUAL DRAFTING

[Note : The drawings (Ex.Nos.1 – 4) should be drawn in drawing sheets and the same
should be submitted for evaluation]
Unit – I BASICS OF DRAWING AND DIMENSIONING
Importance of engineering drawing - drawing practice as per BIS code - drawing
instruments: drawing board, mini drafter, drawing sheets, drawing pencils, set squares, etc.
Lettering and numbering as per BIS - single stroke letters - uppercase and lowercase
4
letters.
Dimensioning – need for dimensioning - terms and notations as per BIS - parallel, chain
and progressive dimensioning.
Ex.No.1.
(a) Rewrite the given statement in a single stroke vertical uppercase letters (5 statements) 4
(b) Rewrite the given statement in a single stroke vertical lowercase letters (5 statements)
Ex.No.2. Redraw the given drawing and dimension it as per BIS. (Fig.1 – Fig.4) 6
Unit – II GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION OF POLYGONS
Geometric Constructions : Bisect a straight line, an arc and an angle – divide a straight line
and circle into a number of equal divisions – construct an arc touching two straight lines
at any angle – construct an arc touching two arcs.
Construction of Polygons : Triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon – various 4
positions – side of the polygon is parallel, perpendicular and inclined to principal planes.
Ex.No.3.
(a) Divide a straight line and circle into given number of equal divisions
4
(b) Construct an arc touching two straight lines
(c) Construct an arc touching two arcs
Ex.No.4. Construct the polygon of given size (Choose any suitable method)
4
(Triangle, Rectangle, Square, Pentagon and Hexagon)
PART – B : COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING
[Note : The drawings (Fig.1 – Fig.8) should be created using CAD Software and the
printout should be submitted for evaluation]
Unit – III BASICS OF COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING (CAD)
Introduction to CAD – applications – advantages of CAD over manual drafting –
understanding user interface – types of coordinate systems - absolute, relative, polar –
drafting settings – Limits – Units – Creating objects using draw commands – Line, Arc,
Circle, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Point, Pline, Sketch – Creating text – Dtext, Mtext, Text
8
styles – Mline, spline – Drawing with precision – Osnap options – drawing aids – Fill, Snap,
Grid, Ortho lines – Function keys – Editing and modify commands – Object selection
methods – Erasing object – Oops – Canceling and undoing a command – Copy – Move –
Array – Offset – Scale – Rotate – Mirror – Break – Trim – Extend – Explode – Divide –
Measure – Stretch – Lengthen – Changing properties – Color, Line types, LT scale –
Matching properties – Editing with grips – Pedit – Ddedit – Mledit.
Basic dimensioning – Editing dimensions – Dimension styles – Adding leaders – Creation
of blocks – Wblock – Inserting a block – Block attributes – Hatching – Pattern types –
Boundary hatch – Working with layers – View group commands – Zoom, redraw, regen, pan
– Enquiry tools.
Page setup in layout – Viewports – Plotting drawings.
