    The document discusses the alphabet of lines used in technical drawings. There are 11 different types of lines that have specific meanings and uses. These include object lines, construction lines, dimension lines, hidden lines, center lines, and others. Technical drawings use different line types, thicknesses, and styles to accurately depict an object from multiple views and convey important information to those producing or constructing the object.

    ALPHABET OF

    LINES
    ALPHABET OF LINES

    • LINES ARE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF SKETCHING.


    • LINES HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES, THICKNESS AND SHAPES
    HAS ITS OWN MEANING.
    • ALPHABET OF LINES ARE ALSO KNOW AS “LINE
    SYMBOL”
    1. OBJECT OR VISIBLE LINES

    • Thick dark line use to show outline of object, visible edges


    and surfaces.
    2. CONSTRUCTION LINES

    •  Very light and thin line use to construct layout work.


    3. DIMENSION LINES
    • 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 LINES
    • Short dash lines use to show non visible surfaces. Usually
    shows as medium thickness.
    5. CENTER LINES
    • Long and short dash lines. Usually indicates center of holes,
    circles and arcs. Line is thin and dark.
    6. EXTENSION LINES
    • Thin and dark line use to show the starting and ending of
    dimension.
    7. CUTTING PLANE LINES
    • 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 LINES
    • Medium line with arrowhead to show notes or label for size
    or special information about a feature.
    10. PHANTOM LINES
    • Medium line with arrowhead to show notes or label
    for size or special information about a feature Long
    line followed by two short dashes use to show
    alternate position of a moving part.
    11. SECTION LINES
    • Medium lines drawn at 45 degrees use to show interior view
    of solid areas of cutting plane line.
    • Multi-view drawings
    are conventional projections of a three dimensional object on
    a two dimensional plane. Anything which is going to be produced
    or constructed is based on the proposal given by multi-view
    drawings. For example, buildings, machines, office equipment and
    so on.

    • Projection
    Is the image of an object represented (drawn on a plane of
    projection /picture plane) as it would appear to the observer
    stationed at a point and viewing along the direction of line of
    projection.
    • Projectors / lines of projection
    are imaginary lines that emerge from observer’s eyes and
    moves to contour of an object. Station point is the location of
    an observer.

    • Plane of projection / picture plane


    are an imaginary plane on which the image of an objected
    is represent / drawn. The plane on which principal view of an
    object is represented / drawn is called principal plane. The
    planes are assumed to expand infinitely and transparent.
    Six (6) Principal Views of an Object:
    Although there are six principal views
    that can be drawn in an object, only the
    three regular views (Three planes of
    projection) are normally required in the
    preparation of a working plan.
