 Graphic Language & Effectiveness

Try writing the description of these pictures……………

 Graphic Language & Effectiveness
………………..………Or these pictures

make a sketch or visualize from your description.

 Graphic Language & Effectiveness

It can be found that …

The word language is

inadequate
for describing the
size, shape and features
completely as well as concisely.
• Graphical representation of an object is called
drawing
• Engineering Drawing: A drawing of an object which
contains all the necessary information like actual
shape , accurate sizes, manufacturing methods etc
required for construction of an object.
• Computer Aided Engineering Drawing: is a
technique where engineering drawings are produced
with the assistance of a computer and as with manual
drawing, is only the graphical means of representing
a design.
 Engineering disciplines using drawing
• Aerospace: Layout drawings, part drawings, subassemblies,
assemblies ·
• Chemical: Process schematics, process plant layout drawings
• Civil, Construction: Structural detail drawings, site plan drawings,
construction drawings, road - use plans ·
• Electrical, Computer: Circuit board design, very large system
integration (VLSI) design ·
• Industrial and Manufacturing: Manufacturing plant layout
drawings, subassemblies, assemblies
• Mechanical : part drawing, subassemblies, assemblies

 Drawing Scales : Definition
Length, size
Scale is a ratio between the linear dimension of a drawn
representation of an object and the actual object.

 Drawing Scales : Designation

Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”

followed by the indication of its ratio, as follows

SCALE 1:1 for full size

SCALE X:1 (X > 1) for an enlargement scales
SCALE 1:X (X > 1) for a reduction scales

Drawing scale is commonly found in a title block.

Drawing Scales : Standard scale

Standard reducing scales are

1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100

Standard enlarging scales are

2:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1
 Basic Line Types &Application

2. Extension line
Visible line 3. Leader line

Continuous Hidden line
Dash
Chain Center line

1. Visible line represent features that can be seen in the current view.
2. Dimension line
Extension line indicate the sizes and location of features.
Leader line

3. Hidden line represent features that can not be seen in the current view.

4. Center line represents symmetry, path of motion, centers of circles,

axis of axisymmetrical parts
Orthographic Projection
• Orthographic Projection is a method of representing a three
dimensional object on paper using several two dimensional
views.
• It is the international language of Engineers and Designers
 How does it work?

• We look directly at the different faces of the object

(90˚ to the face) and draw the lines that we see.
 How many views?

• One view is never enough to describe an object.

• We need at least two views to accurately describe even the
most simple of objects.
• Generally we se three views and arrange them as shown in the
movie
• You can use as many views as the object requires.
