1. Try to write a description of
this object.
2. Test your written description
by having someone attempt
to make a sketch from your
description.
Effectiveness of Graphics Language
The word languages are inadequate for describing the
size, shape and features completely as well as
concisely.
You can easily understand that …
Graphic language in “engineering application” use
lines to represent the surfaces, edges and contours
of objects.
A drawing can be done using freehand, instruments
or computer methods.
Composition of Graphic Language
The language is known as “drawing” or “drafting” .
Freehand drawing
The lines are sketched without using instruments other
than pencils and erasers.
Example
Instrument drawing
Instruments are used to draw straight lines, circles, and
curves concisely and accurately. Thus, the drawings are
usually made to scale.
Example
Computer drawing
The drawings are usually made by commercial software
such as AutoCAD, solid works etc.
Example

Drawing Standard
Introduction
Standards are set of rules that govern how technical
drawings are represented.
Drawing standards are used so that drawings convey
the same meaning to everyone who reads them.

Drawing Scales
Scale is the ratio of the linear dimension of an element
of an object shown in the drawing to the real linear
dimension of the same element of the object.
Size in drawing Actual size
Length, size
:
Drawing Scales
Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follow
SCALE 1:1 for full size
SCALE X:1 for enlargement scales (X > 1)
SCALE 1:X for reduction scales (X > 1)
Dimension numbers shown in the drawing are correspond
to “true size” of the object and they are independent of
the scale used in creating that drawing.
Basic Line Types
Types of Lines Appearance
Name according
to application
Continuous thick line Visible line
Continuous thin line Dimension line
Extension line
Leader line
Dash thick line Hidden line
Chain thin line Center line
NOTE : We will learn other types of line in later chapters.
Visible lines represent features that can be seen in the
current view
Meaning of Lines
Hidden lines represent features that can not be seen in
the current view
Center line represents symmetry, path of motion, centers
of circles, axis of axisymmetrical parts
Dimension and Extension lines indicate the sizes and
location of features on a drawing

Lettering
Text on Drawings
Text on engineering drawing is used :
To communicate nongraphic information.
As a substitute for graphic information, in those instance
where text can communicate the needed information
more clearly and quickly.
Uniformity - size
- line thickness
Legibility - shape
- space between letters and words
Thus, it must be written with
Lettering Standard
ANSI Standard This course
Use a Gothic text style,
either inclined or vertical.
Use all capital letters.
Use 3 mm for most
text height.
Space between lines
of text is at least 1/3
of text height.
Use only a vertical Gothic
text style.
Use both capital and
lower-case letters.
Same. For letters in title
block it is recommend to use
5~8 mm text height
N/A.
Follows ANSI rule.

Space between the letters depends on the contour of
the letters at an adjacent side.
Spacing

General conclusions are:
Good spacing creates approximately equal background
area between letters.

Space between Letters
GOOD
Not uniform in style.
Not uniform in height.
Not uniformly vertical or inclined.
Not uniform in thickness of stroke.
Area between letters not uniform.
Area between words not uniform.
Example : Good and Poor Lettering
Leave the space between words equal to the space
requires for writing a letter “O”.
