EngineeringDrawing

The words of the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be “voluntarily” reproduced and combined--this combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought before there is any connection with logical construction in words or other kinds of signs which are communicated to others

--Albert Einstein

1. Try to write a description of this object.

2. Test your written description by having someone attempt to make a sketch or visualize from your description.

Effectiveness of Graphic Language

The word language is inadequate for describing the sizesize,

shapeshape and featuresfeatures completely as well as concisely.

You can easily understand that …

Graphic Language inEngineering Drawing

“Engineering drawing” or “blueprint” uses llinesines to

represent the features features of an object.

Features of an object are surface surface (include planeplane) and

edgeedge.

A drawing can be created in 3 ways

Ways to Create anEngineering Drawing

1. Freehand sketch

2. Using typical drawing instruments

3. Using a computer

Example

Create a Drawing : Freehand sketch

The lines are drawn using only pencil and erasers on a

blank or grid paper.

Pictorial sketch Orthographic sketch

Example

Create a Drawing : Using instruments

Drawing instruments are used to

draw straight lines, circles, and

curves conciselyconcisely and accuratelyaccurately.

Drawings are usually made to scalemade to scale.

Example

Create a Drawing : Using a computer

Computer aided drafting (CAD) software is used.

2D drawing Solid modeling

Elements of a Drawing

A clear and precise engineering drawing requires both

graphics graphics and word word languages.

Graphics language

Describe a shape (mainly).

Word language

Describe an exact size, location and specificationof the object.

Definition and Necessity

Drawing standards are set of rulesset of rules that govern how

technical drawings are represented.

Drawing standards are used so that drawings conveyconvey

the same meaningthe same meaning to everyone who reads them.

Drawing Scales : Definition

:

ScaleScale is a ratio between the linear dimension of a

drawn representation of an object and the actual object.

1 2

Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”

followed by the indication of its ratio, as follows

SCALE 1:1 for full size

SCALE X:1 (X > 1) for an enlargementenlargement scales

SCALE 1:X (X > 1) for a reductionreduction scales

Drawing Scales : Designation

Drawing scale is commonly found in a title block.

Dimension numbersDimension numbers shown in the drawing represent

the “true size” of an object and they are independent of

the drawing scale used.

Drawing Scales : Notes

Standard reducing scales are

1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100

Drawing Scales : Standard scale

Standard enlarging scales are

2:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1

UniformityUniformity

Text’s style on the drawing

must have the following

2 properties

Examples

GOOD

Not uniform in style.

Not uniform in height.

Not uniformly vertical.

Not uniform inthickness of stroke.

Inappropriate spacebetween letters

Style (this course)

Gothic vertical style.

Begin the sentence, phrase or word with a capital letter.

Text height 2~3 mm.

Space between lines of text is about of text height.

Height of the lower-case letter is about 2/3 of that of a

capital letter.

DRAWING

Word Composition

Non-uniformspacing

Uniformspacing DR A WING

Space between the letters depends on the adjacent

contour of the letters.

Word having non-uniform spacing is more readable.

Word Composition

Contour

DRAWINGContour can be denoted as “straight”, “slant” and “curve”.

Adjacent contour can be1. straight-straight : II, IN, IM, IP etc.

2. straight-curve (or curve-straight) : IO, QR etc.

3. straight-slant (or slant-straight) : IV, IW etc.

4. curve-curve : OO, OG etc.

5. slant-curve (or curve-slant) : VO, WG, VC etc.

6. slant-slant : VW, VX etc.

Spa

Leave the space between words equal to the spacerequires for writing a letter “O”.
