Auxiliary Views

The document discusses auxiliary views in engineering drawing. Auxiliary views are used to show the true size and shape of angled surfaces that are not visible in standard views. The document outlines the purposes and types of auxiliary views, including primary, partial, and complete auxiliary views. It also provides steps for constructing auxiliary views and examples of circular features and secondary auxiliary views.

5.1 Introduction
 principal view of an object can be represented using the
glass box approach to surface identification. However,
below object has a surface that is not parallel to any side
of the glass box. How can we represent that surface in its
true shape and size?
Introduction cont’d

 An auxiliary view is an orthographic view which

is projected onto any plane other than the

frontal, horizontal, or profile plane.

 Inclined and oblique surfaces do not show true

size in the standard views.


Introduction cont’d

 Auxiliary views are used to show the true size

and shape of an angled surface and its

features.

 Auxiliary view is projected 90 degree from the

inclined or slanted plane.


5.2. Purposes of Auxiliary Views

 Show the true size and shape of a surface.

 Show the true shape of a surface, including all

true angles.

 It is used to project and complete other views.


5.3. Types of Auxiliary Views
Auxiliary Views

Based on auxiliary plane Based on projected surfaces

Primary Partial

Secondary Complete
Auxiliary views are also classified by the

dimension shown in true size in the auxiliary view,

that is the three types of ordinary auxiliary views:

1. Depth auxiliary

is an auxiliary view projected from the front

view, and will show true depth.


2.Width auxiliary

 view is an auxiliary view projected from the

profile view, and will show true width.

3.Height auxiliary

view is derived from the top or bottom view of an

object and will show true height.

Primary Auxiliary Views

 Primary auxiliary views are views that can be

represented with their true shape and size

using single auxiliary plane which is drawn

parallel to slanted surface of an object.

 Primary auxiliary views are applicable for

inclined surface of an object.


Primary Auxiliary Views
Partial Auxiliary Views

• When only the slanted surface of an object is

projected and represented on auxiliary plane,

the view obtained is called partial auxiliary view.

• It is more economical to draw partial auxiliary

views than complete auxiliary views.


Partial Auxiliary Views
Complete Auxiliary Views

• When all the surfaces of an object are

projected and represented on auxiliary plane,

the view obtained is called complete auxiliary

view.

• Complete auxiliary views are drawn when

necessary.
Complete Auxiliary Views
Steps to Draw Auxiliary Views
Step 1: Draw auxiliary plane line at any wished distance
and parallel to slanted surface.
Step 2: Add principal plane lines
Step 3: Project required lines of projection from slanted
surface to perpendicular to auxiliary plane line.
Step 4: Transfer the distance between either of principal plane to endpoints
of slanted surface to its new position from auxiliary plane line in the auxiliary
view.
Step 5: Connect the transferred endpoints in the auxiliary
view to create its final form.

This is primary partial auxiliary view.


To Draw Complete Auxiliary Views

 Here no edge will be missed. All visible and

invisible edges have to be shown on the

auxiliary view.

 On the other hand, all corners or intersection

points of a view that consist the slanted

edges have to be projected.


This is primary Complete auxiliary view.
Example of a partial Auxiliary Views
Example of a Complete Auxiliary Views
Objects with circular
features:
Step1. Divide the circular feature into equal parts i.e. to
4, 8, 12, 16, and project each point from the circular part
to the inclined edge. Then project each intersection points
of the inclined edge to the working auxiliary area.
Step2. Transfer each dimensions from the circular
feature accurately to the auxiliary view.
Step 3. Finally complete connecting the points
transferred from the circular feature view.
Example of circular feature.
Secondary Auxiliary Views

 Secondary auxiliary views are views that can be

represented using two auxiliary plane. The first

auxiliary plane is drawn perpendicular to one of the

true length of slanted surface to get edge view; and

then the second auxiliary plane is drawn parallel to

the edge view to represent the auxiliary view with its

true shape and size.


 Secondary auxiliary views are applicable for oblique

surface of an object i.e to find the true size of

an oblique line
