Welding Level 1 - Blueprint Reading Quiz

Study Notes

Blueprint Terminology

Center Line: Thin dashed line with alternating long and short dashes used to locate details on a drawing.
Extension and Dimension Lines: Continuous lines thinner than object lines, indicating the limits and measurements of objects.
Hidden Line: Broken lines that represent objects or surfaces not visible in the current view.
Leaders: Thin, solid lines bending at a 45-degree angle, ending with an arrow that indicates the specific object or feature in the blueprint.

Types of Drawings
