INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DRAWING
Drawing Board:
Until recently drawing boards used are made of well seasoned softwood of about 25 mm thick with a
working edge for T-square. Nowadays mini-drafters are used instead of T-squares which can be fixed
on any board. The standard size of board depends on the size of drawing sheet size required.
Mini-Drafter:
Mini-drafter consists of an angle formed by two arms with scales marked and rigidly hinged to each
other .It combines the functions of T-square, set-squares, scales and protractor. It is used for drawing
horizontal, vertical and inclined lines, parallel and perpendicular lines and for measuring lines and
angles.
Figure.1.2
Pencils:
Pencils with leads of different degrees of hardness or grades are available in the market. The hardness
or softness oftheleadisindicatedby3H, 2H, H, HB, B, 2B, 3B etc.The grade HB denotes medium
hardness of lead used for general purpose. The hardness increases as the value of the numeral before
the letter H increases. The lead becomes softer, as the value of the numeral before B increases.
Drawing Sheet:
The standard drawing sheet sizes are arrived at on the basic Principal of x: y=1:2^(1/2) and xy=1
where x and y are the sides of the sheet. For example AO, having a surface area of 1 Sq. m; x = 841
mm and y = 1189 mm. The successive sizes are obtained by either by halving along the length or
doubling the width, the area being in the ratio 1: 2. Designation of sizes is given in the fig. For class
work use of A2 size drawing sheet is preferred.
Table.1.1 Figure.1.3
Figure.1.4
Title Block:
The title block should lie within the drawing space at the bottom right hand comer of the sheet. The
title block can have a maximum length of 170 mm and width of 65mm providing the following
information.
Lines:
Just as in English textbook the correct words are used for making correct sentences; in Engineering
Graphics, the details of various objects are drawn by different types of lines. Each line has a definite
meaning and sense to convey.
• Visible Outlines, Visible Edges: (Continuous wide lines) the lines drawn to represent the
visible outlines/ visible edges / surface boundary lines of objects should be outstanding in
appearance.
• Dimension Lines (Continuous narrow Lines): Dimension Lines are drawn to mark
dimension.
• Extension Lines (Continuous narrow Lines): There are extended slightly beyond the
respective dimension lines.
• Construction Lines (Continuous narrow Lines): These are drawn for constructing
drawings and should not be erased after completion of the drawing.
• Hatching / Section Lines (Continuous Narrow Lines): These are drawn for the sectioned
portion of an object. These are drawn inclined at an angle of 45° to the axis or to the main
outline of the section.

LETTERING
Lettering is defined as writing of titles, sub-titles, dimensions, etc., on a drawing.
Importance of Lettering:
To undertake production work of an engineering component as per the drawing, the size and other
detailsareindicatedonthedrawing.Thisisdoneintheformofnotesanddimensions.MainFeatures of
Lettering are legibility, uniformity and rapidity of execution. Use of drawing instruments for lettering
consumes more time. Lettering should be done freehand with speed. Practice accompanied by
continuous efforts would improve the lettering skill and style. Poor lettering mars the appearance of
an otherwise good drawing.
Size of Letters:
• Size of Letters is measured by the height of the CAPITAL letters as well as numerals.
• Standard heights for CAPITAL letters and numerals recommended by BIS are given below:
1.8, 2.5, 3.5, 5, 6, 10, 14 and 20 mm
Note: Size of the letters may be selected based upon the size of drawing.
Guide Lines:
In order to obtain correct and uniform height of letters and numerals, guidelines are drawn, using 2H
pencil with light pressure. HB grade conical end pencil is used for lettering.
The following are some of the guidelines for lettering
o Drawing numbers, title block and letters denoting cutting planes, sections are written in
10 mm size.
o Drawingtitleiswrittenin7mmsize.
o Hatching, sub-titles, materials, dimensions, notes, etc., are written in 3.5 mm size.
o Space between lines = 3/4h
o Space between words may be equal to the width of alphabet 3/5h.
Table.1.4
Table.1.5
Dimensioning:
Drawing of a component, in addition to providing complete shape description, must also furnish
Informationregardingthesizedescription.Theseareprovidedthroughthedistancesbetweenthe Surfaces,
location of holes, nature of surface finish, type of material, etc. The expression of these Features on a
drawing, using lines, symbols, figures and notes is called dimensioning.
Figure.1.5
The dimensions are indicated on the drawings according to one of the following two methods.
Method-1(Aligned method):
Dimensions should be placed parallel to and above their dimension lines and preferably at the middle,
and clear of the line. Dimensions may be written so that they can be read from the bottom or from the
right side of the drawing. Dimensions on oblique dimension lines should be oriented as shown in
Fig.2.26a and except where unavoidable, they shall not be placed in the 30° zone. Angular dimensions
are oriented.
Figure.1.6(a)
Figure.1.6(b)
Method- 2(Uni-directional):
Dimensions should be indicated so that they can be read from the bottom of the drawing only. Non-
horizontal dimension lines are interrupted, preferably in the middle for insertion of the dimension.
Note: Horizontal dimensional lines are not broken to place the dimension in both cases.

Figure.1.14
a) CIRCLE:
When a cone is cut by a section plane A-A making an angle α = 90° with the axis, the section
obtained is a circle.
b) ELLIPSE:
When a cone is cut by a section plane B-B at an angle, α more than half of the apex angle i.e., Ɵ
and less than 90°, the curve of the section is an ellipse. Its size depends on the angle α and the
distance of the section plane from the apex of the cone.
c) PARABOLA:
If the angle α is equal to Ɵ i.e., when the section plane C-C is parallel to the slant side of the cone
the curve at the section is a parabola. This is not a closed figure like circle or ellipse. The size of
the parabola depends upon the distance of the section plane from the slant side of the cone.
d) HYPERBOLA:
If the angle α is less than Ɵ (section plane D-D), the curve at the section is hyperbola. The curve
of intersection is hyperbola, even if α = Ɵ, provided the section plane is not passing through the
apex of the cone. However if the section plane passes through the apex, the section produced is
an isosceles triangle.
Figure.1.15
Eccentricity(e) :
a. If e=1,it is parabola
b. If e>1,it is hyperbola

from the directrix.
PARABOLA:
In physical world, parabola are found in the main cables on simple suspension bridge, as parabolic
reflectors in satellite dish antennas, vertical curves in roads, trajectory of a body, automobile head
light, parabolic receivers.

TYPESOFPLANES:
1. Perpendicular planes which have their surface perpendicular to anyone of the reference planes and
parallel or inclined to the other reference plane.
2. Oblique planes which have their surface inclined to both the reference planes.
TRACEOFPLANE:
The trace of a plane is the line of intersection or meeting of the plane surface with the
reference plane; if necessary the plane surface is extended to intersect the reference plane. The
intersection line of the plane surface with HP is called the Horizontal Trace (HT) and that of VP is
called the Vertical Trace (VT).
A plane figure is positioned with reference to the reference planes by referring its surface in the

UNIT-III
PROJECTIONOFSOLIDS
Introduction:
A solid has three dimensions, the length, breadth and thickness or height. A solid may be represented
by orthographic views, the number of which depends on the type of solid and its orientation with
respect to the planes of projection. solids are classified into two major groups. (i) Polyhedral, and
(ii) Solids of revolution
POLYHEDRAL
Apolyhedralisdefinedasasolidboundedbyplanesurfacescalledfaces.Theyare: (i) Regular
polyhedral (ii) Prisms and (iii) Pyramids
Regular Polyhedral
A polyhedron is said to be regular if its surfaces are regular polygons. The following are
some of the regular polyhedral.
SOLIDS
Prisms: A prism is a polyhedron having two equal ends called the bases parallel to each other. The
two bases are joined by faces, which are rectangular in shape. The imaginary line passing through the
centers of the bases is called the axis of the prism.
A prism is named after the shape of its base. For example, a prism with square base is called a square
prism, the one with a pentagonal base is called a pentagonal prism, and soon (Fig)The nomenclature
of the prism is given in Fig.
Figure 3.1
Pyramids: A pyramid is a polyhedron having one base, with a number of isosceles triangular faces,
meeting at a point called the apex. The imaginary line passing through the centre of the base and the
apex is called the axis of the pyramid.
The pyramid is named after the shape of the base. Thus, a square pyramid has a square base and
pentagonal pyramid has pentagonal base and so on. The nomenclature of a pyramid is shown in Fig.
Figure3.2
Types of Pyramids:
There are many types of Pyramids, and they are named after the shape of their base.
These are Triangular Pyramid, Square Pyramid, Pentagonal pyramid, hexagonal pyramid and
tetrahedron
Solids of Revolution: If a plane surface is revolved about one of its edges, the solid generated is
called a solid of revolution. The examples are (i) Cylinder, (ii) Cone, (iii) Sphere.
Frustums and Truncated Solids: If a cone or pyramid is cut by a section plane parallel to its base
and the portion containing the apex or vertex is removed, the remaining portion is called frustum of a
cone or pyramid
Prisms Position of a Solid with Respect to the Reference Planes: The position of solid in
space may be specified by the location of either the axis, base, edge, diagonal or face with the
principal planes of projection. The following are the positions of a solid considered.
The position of solid with reference to the principal planes may also be grouped as follows:
1. Solid resting on its base.
2. Solid resting on any one of its faces, edges of faces, edges of base, generators, slant edges, etc.
3. Solid suspended freely from one of its corners, etc.
Simple Problems:
When the axis of solid is perpendicular to one of the planes, it is parallel to the other. Also, the
projection of the solid on that plane will show the true shape of the base. When the axis of a solid is
perpendicular to H.P, the top view must be drawn first and then the front view is projected from it.
Similarly when the axis of the solid is perpendicular to V.P, the front view must be drawn first and
then the top view is projected from it.

TERMINOLOGY
The following terms are frequently used in this chapter:
1. Section plane It is an imaginary plane which cuts the given object to show the internal details. This plane is
represented by its trace.
2. Cut surface It is the surface created due to cutting the object by section plane. It is shown by hatching lines.
3. Hatching lines These are used to indicate the cut surface. These are represented by continuous lines drawn at 45º
to the reference line, parallel to each other at a uniform spacing of 2 to 3 mm. For details, refer to Section 7.19.
4. Apparent section It is the projection of cut surface when the section plane is not parallel to the plane of projection.
5. True shape of section The projection of the cut surface on a plane parallel to the section plane is known as true
shape of section. It shows actual shape and size of the cut surface.

DEVELOMENT OF SURFACES
INTRODUCTION
The development of surface is the shape of a plain sheet that by proper folding could be converted
into the desired object. In engineering practice, a large number of objects like milk can, funnel, bucket,
measuring flask, duct of air conditioner, hopper, chimney, tray, storage tank, boiler shell etc. shown in Fig.,
are made of metal sheets. The fabrication of these objects can be planned in an economic way if the accurate
shape and size of metal sheet is known. This chapter deals with proper layout planning of the surface of the
object on a single plane called the development of surfaces.
Fig 4.11
CLASSIFICATION OF SURFACES
Surfaces of various geometrical objects may be classified as the following:
1. Plane surface Objects like prism, pyramid, cube and polyhedron are bounded by plane surfaces.
2. Singly curved surface Objects like cylinder and cone are bounded by singly curved surfaces.
3. Doubly curved surface Objects like sphere, paraboloid, ellipsoid and hyperboloid are bounded by doubly curved
surfaces.
METHODS OF DEVELOPMENT
Development methods may be classified as the following:
1. Parallel line method: This method is adopted in the development of prisms and cylinders, in which all the
edges/generators of lateral surface are parallel in each other.
2. Radial line method: This method is adopted in the development of pyramids and cones in which the apex is taken
as centre and the slant edge or generator as radius of its development.
3. Triangulation method: This method is generally applied in the development of transition pieces and oblique
objects.
4. Approximation method: This method is adopted in the development of doubly curved surface like that of a
sphere since the exact development of such surface is not possible.
DEVELOPMENT OF PRISMS
Prisms are developed by parallel line method. In this method, first of all the front view and top view of the
prism are drawn. Two parallel lines called stretch out lines are drawn from the ends of the prism in a direction
perpendicular to the axis. The length of these lines is same as the perimeter of the base of the prism. The faces of the
prism are marked between the stretched outlines which represent the development of the lateral surface.
Problem
A square prism of base side 30 mm and axis 60 mm is resting on its base on the H.P. with a rectangular face parallel
to the V.P. Draw the development of the prism.
Fig 4.13
Problem
Figure 4.14a shows the front view of a truncated hexagonal prism of base side 30 mm and axis 90 mm. The prism is
resting on the H.P. with an edge of the base parallel to the VP. Draw the development of its lateral surface.
Fig 4.14a
Fig 4.14b
DEVELOPMENT OF CYLINDERS
Cylinders are also developed by parallel line method in a way similar to the prisms. Here the length of
stretch line is equal to the circumference of the base circle of the cylinder.
Problem
A cylinder of base diameter 50 mm and axis 70 mm is resting on ground with its axis vertical. It is cut by a section
plane perpendicular to the V.P., inclined at 45° to the H.P., passing through the top of a generator and cuts all the
other generators. Draw the development of its lateral surface.
Fig 4.15
DEVELOPMENT OF CONES
Development of lateral surface of cone is obtained by radial line method. In this method, the development is in the form
of sector of a circle, the radius of which is equal to the slant height of the cone. The subtended angle Ɵ of this sector is
𝑟
calculated as 𝜃 = × 3600 , where r is the radius of the base circle and R is the slant height of the cone. Alternatively, the arc
𝑅
length of this sector can directly be transferred from the top view of the base circle. It is done by taking 1/12th of the arc length
from the base circle and then marking 12 times in the development. Although approximate, it is one of the most convenient and
preferred methods.
Problem
A cone of base diameter 50 mm and axis 60 mm is resting on its base on the H.P. Draw the development of its lateral surface.
Problem
A cone of base diameter 50 mm and axis 60 mm is resting on its base on the H.P. Draw the development of its lateral
surface when it is cut by an auxiliary inclined plane inclined at 60° to the H.P. and bisecting the axis.
Fig 4.17
DEVELOPMENT OF PYRAMIDS
Development of lateral surface of a pyramid consists of a series of isosceles triangles. It is obtained by radial line
method, similar to that of the cone. However, for the isosceles triangles the true length of the slant edge may or may not
be available in the front view. In case true length of the slant edge is not available, one needs to first determine the true
length of the slant edge. The following problems illustrate the development of the lateral surface of the pyramids.
Problem
Draw the development of the lateral surface of a square pyramid of base side 40 mm and axis 60 mm, resting on its
base on the H.P. such that (a) all the sides of the base are equally inclined to the V.P., and (b) a side of the base is
parallel to the V.P.
Fig 4.18
Problem
A pentagonal pyramid of base side 30 mm and axis 60 mm, rests on its base on the H.P. with a side of the base
parallel to the V.P. It is cut by two section plane which meet at a height of 20 mm from the base. One of the section
planes is horizontal, while the other is an auxiliary inclined plane whose V.T. is inclined at 45° to the H.P. Draw the
development of the lateral surface of the solid when apex is removed.

ISOMETRIC PROJECTIONS
Isometric projection:
Isometric projection is a type of pictorial projection in which the three dimensions of a solid are not
only shown in one view but their actual sizes can be measured directly from it. The three lines AL,
AD and AH, meeting at point A and making 1200 angles with each other are termed Isometric Axes.
The lines parallel to these axes are called Isometric Lines. The planes representing the faces of the
cube as well as other planes parallel to these planes are called Isometric Planes.
The inclined lines of an object are represented non isometric lines in isometric projections. These are
drawn by one of the following methods
1. Box Method:
In this box method, the object is assumed to be enclosed in a rectangular box and both the isometric
and non-isometric lines are drawn by locating the corresponding points of contact with the surfaces
and edge of the box.
2. Off-Set Method:
In this Off-set Method the lines parallel to isometric axes are drawn from every corner or reference of
an end to obtain the corner or the reference point at the other end.
*The Box Method is generally convenient for solving most of the problems

ORTHOGRPAHIC PROJECTION
Projection: Projection is defined as an Image or drawing of the object made on a plane. The lines
form the object to the Plane are called projectors.
Figure 5.16
In orthographic projection an object is represented by two are three views on the mutual perpendicular
projection planes each projection view represents two dimensions of an object.
In ISO, oblique and perspective projections represents the object by a pictorial view as eyes see it. In
these methods of projects in three dimensional object is represented on a projection plane by one view
only.
Orthographic Projection
When the Projectors are parallel to each other and also perpendicular to the plane the projection is
called orthographic Projection
Figure 5.17
We can represent in orthographic projection two to three views enough as shown in below figures
Figure5.18
Figure5.19
Orthographic Projection is a way of drawing an 3D object from different directions. Usually a front,
side and plan view is drawn so that a person looking at the drawing can see all the important sides.
Orthographic drawings are useful especially when a design has been developed to a stage whereby it
is almost ready to manufacture.
Plane of projection: Two planes employed for the purpose of orthographic projections are called
reference planes or planes of projection. they are intersect each other at right angle to each other the
vertical plane of projection is usually denoted by the letters VP and the other Plane is horizontal plane
of Projection is denoted by HP .The line in which they intersect is termed as the reference line and is
denoted by the letters xy.
Four quadrants:
Figure5.20
Figure 5.21
We have assumed the object to be situated in front of the VP and above the HP i.e., First quadrant and
then projected it on these planes, the method of projection is known as
First angle projection method.
Here object lies between observer and plane of projection. In this method when the views are drawn
in their relative positions the Top view comes below the front view.
Figure5.22
Here the object is assumed to be situated in third quadrant, here Plane of projection assumed to be
transparent. It lies between Object and the observer. In this method when the views are drawn in their
relative positions the Top view comes below the front view.
Figure5.23
Note: There are two ways of drawing in orthographic- First Angle and Third Angle. They differ only
in the position of the plan, front and side views.
Problems:
