    Study Notes

    Drafting

    • Primary method of communication for designers, architects, engineers, and advertisers with various stakeholders
    • Used to convey ideas, designs, and instructions
    • Provides visual representation of objects and concepts

    Alphabet of Lines

    • Set of standardized line symbols used in technical drawings for interpretation
    • Different lines represent distinct elements, such as visible edges, hidden features and dimensions

    Border Line

    • Defines the outer boundary of a drawing sheet
    • Indicates the limits of the drawing

    Visible Line

    • Used to represent edges of an object that are visible
    • Solid line

    Invisible Line

    • Represents edges or features that are not visible
    • Dashed line

    Dimension Line

    • Shows the measurement of an object
    • Contains arrowheads at both ends to indicate the dimension

    Extension Line

    • Extends from an object to indicate the start and end points of a dimension
    • Thin, solid line

    Leader Line

    • Used to connect a dimension or note to the specific feature of an object
    • Thin, broken line with an arrowhead

    Reference Line

    • Used to label parts or features of an object
    • Thin, curved line with an arrowhead

    Center Line

    • Indicates the center of circular features or symmetrical objects
    • Long and short dashes alternating

    Short Break Line

    • Used to indicate the foreshortened portions of an object, representing areas that are cut away

    Long Break Line

    • Indicates a break in an object to shorten the overall length of a drawing and save space

    Orthographic Drawing

    • Represents a three-dimensional object using two-dimensional views
    • Provides complete information about an object's shape, size, and details
    • Consists of three primary views: top, front, and right side

    Six Principal Views

    • Top: View directly at the top of an object
    • Left Side: View directly at the left side of an object
    • Front: View directly at the front of an object
    • Right Side: View directly at the right side of object
    • Back/Rear: View directly at the back of an object
    • Bottom: View directly at the bottom of an object

    Three Regular Views

    • Top, front, and right side views are considered "regular" because they are most commonly used in orthographic drawings

    Auxiliary View

    • Seventh view used to show inclined surfaces more accurately. The view will be directly at the inclined surface of an object
    • Represents the true shape and size of the inclined surface which may be foreshortened in the six principal views.

    Dimensioning

    • The process of accurately placing measurements on a drawing
    • Used to define both size and location of features

    Kinds of Dimensions

    • Location Dimension: Indicates the position of a feature on the drawing
    • Size Dimension: Provides the size of an object or its individual features. Can be overall and detailed.
    Size Dimension
    • Overall Dimensions: Provide the overall height, width, and depth of the object.
    • Details Dimensions: Provide the length, width, and depth of the portion or parts

    Pictorial Drawings

    • Depict objects as they would appear in a photograph
    • Offer a more realistic visual perspective
    • Examples: Isometric, oblique, and perspective drawings

    Isometric Drawings

    • Preserves all three axes (vertical, left 30-degree cross axis, and 30-degrees right across axis) of an object, allowing all dimensions to be measured directly on the drawing.

    Oblique Drawings

    • Shows the front view of an object in true size, while the depth is foreshortened. The right side and top views are projected at an incline.
    Types of Oblique Drawings
    • Cavalier Drawing: depth and height are drawn in true dimensions.
    • Cabinet Drawing: the depth is reduced to one-half of the actual size.
