MODULE 7 ALPHABET OF LINES OBJECTIVES: After reading the topics and doing exercises you will learn to: define terms used in multi-view projections. describe various lines included in the alphabet of lines according to weight, construction and functions. apply correctly various lines included in the alphabet of lines in the working drawing. observe the proper drawing of lines in drawing orthographic projection and pictorial drawings OVERVIEW In technical drawing and computer graphics, a multi-view orthographic projection is an illustration technique in which up to six pictures of an object are produced, with each projection plane parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the object. The views are positioned relative to each other according to either of two schemes: first- angle or third-angle projection. In each, the appearances of views may be thought of as being projected onto planes that form a 6-sided box around the object. Alphabet of Lines (set of conventional line symbols) Various lines are used in drawing orthographic views such as: Alphabet of Lines Visible/Object Line is a heavy line Hidden Line is medium dashed lines used to represent contour/edges of an equally spaced and used to represent object outlining an area. an edge, corner or feature which is not directly seen in a given surface. Dimension Line composed of thin line Extension/Projection Line very thin with arrowheads at both end and line used to indicate the limit the numerical figure which gives the dimension line. Also used to measurement of the object. transfer/project features or measurements from one view to the other. Long Break Line allows removal of a Short Break Line terminates a view to long central portion of an object to conserve space and avoid congestion. shorten a view. Normally used in pairs. Also separates internal and external features with broken-out sections. Cutting Plane Line shows where the Section Line appears only on a imaginary cutting takes to create a sectional view where the surface has sectional view. May be series of long been cut. Normally drawn 45° dashes, or alternately, two short diagonally. dashes between single long dashes. Arrowheads indicate the direction of sight. Leader Line drawn diagonally, it Reference Line variant of a leader line directs a dimension or note to the area usually with curve portions. where it applies. Normally terminates with arrowheads, but may terminate with a dot. Phantom Line represents the outline Center Line indicates symmetry, of an adjacent position of a given part; center points. Consists of alternate or replaces repetitive detail, such as long and short dashes usually very thin spring coils, gear teeth, threads, etc. line. Drawn with 2 short dashes between single long dashes, but thinner than the cutting/viewing plane line. Chain Line is used to indicate an area Border Line is the heaviest line in or portion of a surface that is to receive drawing used as margin that surrounds special treatment. the entire drawing works. It also suggests completeness. Directions: Identify the lines used as they were numbered accordingly.
