 Line Thickness:

Thickness varied according to the use of pen or pencil and the size
& type of the drawing.
 For pencil, the lines can be divided into two line-groups:
Line-group Thickness Lines
(mm)

0.2 Medium Out lines, dotted lines, cutting plane lines

0.1 Thin Centre lines, section lines, dimension lines, extension lines,
construction lines, leader lines, short-break lines and long
break lines.

Important Notes:
 In the finished drawing, all lines except construction lines should be
dense, clean and uniform. Construction lines should be drawn very
thin and faint and should be hardly visible.
 Writing of titles, dimensions, notes and other important
particulars on a drawing is lettering.

 Classification:
1. Single-stroke Letters:
The thickness of the line of the letter is obtained in one
stroke of the pencil.
 Recommended by B.I.S.
 It has two types:
I. Vertical
II. Inclined (slope 75° with the horizontal)
 The ratio of height to width varies but in most of the cases it is
6:5.
 Lettering is generally done in capital letters.
 The lower-case letters are generally used in architectural
drawings.
 The spacing between two letters should not be
necessarily equal.
 The letters should be so placed that they do not
appear too close together too much apart.
 The distance between the words must be uniform
and at least equal to the height of the letters.
 Lettering, except the dimension figures, should
be underlined to make them more prominent.

 Size of Alphabets for Drawing:


◦ Main titles -------------------------------6-8 mm
◦ Sub titles --------------------------------3-6 mm
◦ Notes, dimension figures, etc. ---------------3-5 mm
◦ Drawing no.----------------------------10-12 mm
 Introduction to Engineering Drawing

 Lines and Lettering

 Dimensioning
 The art of writing the various sizes or measurement on the finished
drawing of an object.

 Types of Dimensioning:
1. Size or Functional Dimensions (S):
It indicates sizes.
e.g. length, breadth, height, diameter, etc.
2. Location or Datum Dimensions (L):
It shows location or exact position of various constructional
details within the object.
1. Dimension line:
Thin continuous line used to indicate the measurement.
2. Extension line:
Thin continuous line extending beyond the outline of the
object.
3. Arrow-head:
Used to terminate the dimension line. Length : width ratio is
3:1. Space filled up.
 Note:
Gives information regarding specific operation relating to a
feature.
4. Leader:
Thin continuous line connecting a note or a dimension figure
with the feature to which it is applied.
Terminated by arrow-head or dot.
5. Symbol:
The representation of any object by some mark on the
drawing.
It saves time and labour.
 As for as possible all dimensions should be
given in millimetres omitting the abbreviation
mm.
 If another unit is used, only the dimension
figures should be written. But a foot note
such as ‘All the dimensions are in
centimetres' is inserted in a prominent place
near the title box.
 e.g. 15.50
 0.75 (Zero must precede the decimal point)
 15.50 ± .75 ( Zero is omitted)
1. Chain Dimensioning:
Dimensions are arranged in a straight line.
2. Parallel Dimensioning:
All the dimensions are shown from a common base
line. The smaller dimension is placed nearer the
view.
3. Combined Dimensioning:
Chain and parallel dimensioning used
simultaneously.
4. Progressive Dimensioning:
One datum or surface is selected which reads as
zero. All the dimensions are referred to that point
or surface.
1. All the dimensions necessary for the correct
functioning of the part should be expressed directly
on the drawing.
2. Every dimension should be given, but none should be
given more than once.
3. A dimension should be placed on the view where its
use is shown more clearly.
4. Dimensions should be placed outside the view, as for
as possible.
5. Mutual crossing of dimension lines and dimensioning
between hidden lines should be avoided. Also it
should not cross any other line of the drawing.
6. An outline or a centre line should never be used as a
dimension line. A centre line may be extended to
serve as an extension line.
7. Aligned system of dimensioning is recommended.
8. Dimension lines should be drawn at least 8 mm away
from the outlines and from each other.
9. The extension line should be extended by about 3
mm beyond the dimension line.
10. When the space is too narrow, the arrow-head may be
placed outside. Also a dot may be used to replace an
arrow-head.
11. The various methods of dimensioning
different sizes of circles are as follows:

12. Arcs of circles should be dimensioned by


their respective radii.
13. Radii of a spherical surface and square cross
section of a rod is shown as below:

14. Angular dimension may be given as follows:


15. Method of dimensioning of Chamfer:

16. Dimensioning of Tapered Surface:
