Engineering Graphics    Introduction.ppt
Graphical means of expression of technical
details without the barrier of a language.
Universal language for engineers
Engineering Drawing
Drawing
Describing any object/ information diagrammatically
Diagrams/sketches/pictures – communication skills
• We grasp information easily if it is illustrated with
diagrams, sketches, pictures, etc.
LCA - the world's smallest, light weight, multi-role
supersonic combat aircraft of the world
AIRBUS A380
Source: http://img.stern.de/_content/53/96/539645/A380_500_artikel_500.jpg
Details: largest passenger jet. 80m wingspan and a tail that stands as high
as a seven-storey building, carries more than 550 passengers.
It would just be impossible to communicate all
necessary details about the LCA/ Airbus A380
verbally or in writing – Illustration
(picture/drawing) is useful.
• A picture/drawing is worth a thousand words..
• The LCA/Airbus A380 would be impossible to
create without computer graphics and drawing
models.
•Drawings are the road maps which show how to
manufacture products and structures.
Impossible to describe the details
of the building
Difficult to describe the details of the machine
Chemical reactor
Electrical circuit
Drawing is important for all branches of
engineering.
Graphical representation of an object – Drawing
• Engineering drawing – A drawing of an object
that contains all information
-like actual shape, accurate size,manufacturing
methods, etc., required for its construction.
-No construction/manufacturing of any (man -
made) engineering objects is possible without
engineering drawing.
What will you learn in this course?
You will learn - How industry communicates technical
information.
• Visualization – the ability to mentally control visual
information.
• Graphics theory – geometry and projection techniques.
• Standards – set of rules that govern how parts are made
and technical drawings are represented.
• Conventions – commonly accepted practices and methods
used for technical drawings.
• Tools – devices used to create technical drawings and
models.
• Applications – the various uses for technical drawings.
Engineering drawing is completely different
from artistic drawing, which are used to
express aesthetic, philosophical, and
abstract ideas.
Computer has a major impact on the methods used to
design and create technical drawings.
Design and drafting on computer are cheap and less time
consuming.
Why we go for manual drawing?
Engineering Drawing
Manual Drawing CADD
Computer cannot replace the drafting board and
equipment as a learning tool.
Once you have learned the basics of mathematics, now
after class 12, you are allowed the use of calculator
and computer.
If basic fundamentals are clear, better use can be
made of the power of the software.
To be an expert in technical drawing, this first course
on Engineering (manual) Drawing is the first step.
Why we go for manual drawing?
Items required for drawing Items required for drawing

Some drawing instruments
Standard sizes of drawing sheets as per BIS
A2 size
Layout of drawing sheets
• Standard form of arrangement
• Important particulars are included
• Facilitate quick reading of important particulars – quick
references are located easily – drawings are prepared at
various locations and shared
Grids along the horizontal edges – Numerals
• Grids along vertical edges – Capital letters
• 25 mm < Length of the grid < 75 mm
•
Numbering and lettering start from the corner of
the sheet opposite to the title box and are repeated
on the opposite sides
Numbers and letters are written upright
• Repetition of letters or numbers like AA, BB, etc.,
if they exceed that of the alphabets.
Borders – space left all around in between the
trimmed edges of the sheet- A minimum of 10 mm
Grid reference system –
For all sizes of drawing sheets for easy location of
drawing within the frame. The length and the width
of the frames are divided into even number of
divisions.
Number of divisions for a particular sheet depends
on complexity of the drawing – Not to be followed in
this course.

Drawing Pencils
Wooden pencils – are graded and designated by numbers and letters
Mechanical clutch pencils – Not allowed
• 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B - in decreasing order of softness and
blackness
• HB to F – Medium grade
• H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H – increasing order of
hardness.
Drawings are done using 2H pencils and finished with H
and HB pencils – to be practiced in this course.
Grades and designation of wooden pencils
Pencil drawing –
In finished drawing, all lines (except construction lines-
used to construct the drawing) should be dense, clean and
uniform.
Construction line should be drawn very thin and should be
hardly visible in the finished drawing ( they should not be
erased).
Line types

Engineering Graphics    Introduction.ppt
Examples of good and poor drawing techniques for
lines and arcs
Lettering – Writing of titles, sub-titles, dimensions,
scales and other details on a drawing
• Essential features of lettering – legibility, uniformity,
ease, rapidity, and suitability for microfilming/
photocopying/any other photographic processes
• No ornamental and embellishing style of letter
Plain letters and numerals which are clearly
distinguishable from each other in order to avoid any
confusion even in case of slight mutilations
Lettering – BIS: 9609
• Single stroke lettering for use in engineering
drawing – width of the stem of the letters and
numerals will be uniformly thick equal to thickness of
lines produced by the tip of the pencil.
• Single stroke does not mean – entire letter
written without lifting the pencil/pen
Lettering types
• Lettering A – Height of the capital letter is divided into
14 equal parts
• Lettering B – Height of the capital letter is divided into
10 equal parts
Heights of Letters and Numerals
• Height of the capital letters is equal to the height
of the numerals used in dimensioning
• Height of letters and numerals – different for
different purposes
Specifications of A -Type Lettering
Specifications of B -Type Lettering
Standards and Conventions
Standards and Conventions
No effective communication without an agreed upon
standard of signs or symbols.
Standards and conventions are the alphabet of technical
drawing, and plane, solid, and descriptive geometry are the
science(grammar) which underlies the graphics language.
Following the standard rules (grammar) of any language
(Hindi/English) – communication of thought between
people becomes easier.
If words in a sentence were presented randomly –
understanding becomes very difficult.
For effective communication of technical (graphics)
information– set of standards and conventions – a must.
Standards and Conventions – very important
Conventions – commonly accepted practices, rules,
or methods.
Dashed lines are used
to represent hidden
features of an
engineering drawing..
Hidden lines – location
of drilled hole’s
diameter, in a view
where the hole cannot
be directly seen.
Drawings are dimensioned using an accepted set of
standards such as placing the dimension text such that
it is read from the bottom of the sheet.
Standards – set of rules that govern how technical
drawings are represented..
Drawing standards
ANSI – American National Standards Institute
ANSI Y14.1 1980 (R1987) – Drawing sheet size
and format
ANSI Y 14.2M-1979 (R1987) – Line conventions
and lettering
ANSI Y14.5M-1982(R1988) – Dimensioning and
tolerances
ANSI Y 14.3-1975(R1987) – Multi view and sectional view drawings
ISO – International Standards Organization
JIS – Japanese Standards
BIS – Bureau of Indian Standards
Units of Measure
International systems of units (SI) – which is based on
the meter.
Millimeter (mm) - The common SI unit of measure on
engineering drawing.
Individual identification of linear units is not required if
all dimensions on a drawing are in the same unit (mm).
The drawing shall however contain a note:
ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN MM. (Bottom left
corner outside the title box)
Dimensioning
Indicating on a drawing, the size of the object and
other details essential for its construction and
function, using lines,numerals, symbols, notes, etc.
Dimensions indicated on a drawing should be those
that are essential for the production, inspection and
functioning of the object and should not be mistaken
as those that are required to make the drawing of an
object.
Dimensioning of an
object is
accomplished by
dimensioning each
element to indicate
its size (size
dimensions) and
relative location
(location dimensions)
from a center line,
base line or finished
surface.
Each feature is
dimensioned
and positioned
only once.
Each feature is
dimensioned
and positioned
where its
shape shows.
Engineering Graphics    Introduction.ppt
Size dimensions – give the size of the component.
Solid:
Every solid has three dimensions,each of the geometric
shapes making up the object must have its height,
width, and depth indicated in the dimensioning.
Basic geometric shapes used in drawing
Prism – most common shape
requires three dimensions -
give two dimensions on the
principal view and one
dimension on the other
views.
Cylinder

Cone – requires
two dimensions –
diameter of the base
and altitude on the
same view and
length – both are
shown preferably on
the rectangular view.
Right pyramids –
requires three
dimensions –
dimensions of the
base and altitude.
Engineering Graphics    Introduction.ppt
Spheres – requires
only one dimension – diameter.
Location dimensioning
After the basic geometric shapes have been
dimensioned for size, the location of each relative to the
others must be given.
Locations must be established in height, width and
depth directions.
Rectangular faces are positioned with reference to
their faces, cylinder and conic shapes with reference to
their center lines and their ends.
Size and Location dimensioning
Terminology for
dimensioning practice
Dimension – numerical
value that defines
the size or geometric
characteristics of a
feature – size 3.5 mm
and space between
lines of text 1.5 mm.
Dimensions showing the
sizes of features, such
as width, height and
depths of the parts and
the diameter of the hole
Dimensions showing the
location and orientations
of features, such as
location of the center of
the hole
Basic dimension – a numerical value defining
theoretically exact size of a feature.
Reference dimension – a numerical value enclosed in
parenthesis, provided for information only and not
directly used in the fabrication of the part – is a
calculated size used to show the intended design size
of a part.
Dimension line
A thin, solid line that shows the extent and direction of
a dimension. Dimension lines are broken for insertion of
the dimension numbers.
Should be placed at least
10 mm away from the
outline and all other
parallel dimensions should
be at least 6 mm apart,
or more if space permits.
Arrows – 3 mm wide and should be 1/3rd as wide as
they are long - symbols placed at the end of dimension lines
to show the limits of the dimension. Arrows are uniform in
size and style, regardless of the size of the drawing.
Extension line – a thin, solid line perpendicular to a
dimension line, indicating which feature is associated
with the dimension.
Visible gap – there should be a visible gap of 1.5 mm
between the feature’s corners and the end of the
extension line.
Leader line
− A thin, solid line used to indicate the feature with
which a dimension, note, or symbol is associated.
− Generally a straight line drawn at an angle that is
neither horizontal nor vertical.
− Terminated with an arrow touching the part or detail.
− On the end opposite the arrow, the leader line will
have a short, horizontal shoulder. Text is extended
from this shoulder such that the text height is
centered with the shoulder line.
Diameter symbol – φ - a symbol which precedes a
numerical value, to indicate that the dimension shows
the diameter of a circle.
Radius symbol – R 0.5
Various types of dimension lines
Important elements of a dimensioning
Important elements of a dimensioning
Dimensioning of angles
Correct way of dimensioning
Aligned method Unidirectional method
How to begin your drawing?
•Clean the drawing board and all the drawing
•instruments using duster.
•Fix the drawing sheet on the drawing board.
•Fix the mini-drafter in a convenient position.
•Draw border lines using HB pencil..
•Complete the title box using HB pencil .
•Plan spacing of drawings b/n two problems/views
beforehand.
•Print the problem number on the left top and then

Rectangular faces are positioned with reference to their faces, cylinder and conic shapes with reference to their center lines and their ends.

  • 80. Terminology for dimensioning practice Dimension – numerical value that defines the size or geometric characteristics of a feature – size 3.5 mm and space between lines of text 1.5 mm.
  • 81. Dimensions showing the sizes of features, such as width, height and depths of the parts and the diameter of the hole Dimensions showing the location and orientations of features, such as location of the center of the hole
  • 82. Basic dimension – a numerical value defining theoretically exact size of a feature. Reference dimension – a numerical value enclosed in parenthesis, provided for information only and not directly used in the fabrication of the part – is a calculated size used to show the intended design size of a part.
  • 83. Dimension line A thin, solid line that shows the extent and direction of a dimension. Dimension lines are broken for insertion of the dimension numbers. Should be placed at least 10 mm away from the outline and all other parallel dimensions should be at least 6 mm apart, or more if space permits.
  • 84. Arrows – 3 mm wide and should be 1/3rd as wide as they are long - symbols placed at the end of dimension lines to show the limits of the dimension. Arrows are uniform in size and style, regardless of the size of the drawing.
  • 85. Extension line – a thin, solid line perpendicular to a dimension line, indicating which feature is associated with the dimension. Visible gap – there should be a visible gap of 1.5 mm between the feature’s corners and the end of the extension line.
  • 86. Leader line − A thin, solid line used to indicate the feature with which a dimension, note, or symbol is associated. − Generally a straight line drawn at an angle that is neither horizontal nor vertical. − Terminated with an arrow touching the part or detail. − On the end opposite the arrow, the leader line will have a short, horizontal shoulder. Text is extended from this shoulder such that the text height is centered with the shoulder line.
  • 87. Diameter symbol – φ - a symbol which precedes a numerical value, to indicate that the dimension shows the diameter of a circle. Radius symbol – R 0.5
