What Is It

Orthographic and Isometric Views

I. Orthographic View Sketching

The term orthographic comes from the Greek words orthos and graphos which
mean to write and to draw. Orthographic sketching therefore is drawing using lines only.
This kind of drawing is simple. Its purpose is to represent a shape using two or
more views.

• Orthographic Drawing

Figure can be viewed in three ways:

a. Frontal plane
b. Horizontal plane
c. Profile plane
• The frontal plane shows the shape of an object as seen from the front. This is
called FV.

• The horizontal plane shows the object as viewed from the top. This is called
the TV of an object.
2
 • The profile plane shows the shape of the object as seen from the side, the
distance from bottom to top and front to back. This is called the SV of an object.

What’s More

Activity 2
a. Sketching Orthographic Views
Procedure:
1. Know the dimensions of the object: the length, width and
thickness. Study the proportions of the parts and that of the
whole object.

3
 2. Check on the kind of view you wish to use in the object. Be sure
that the main surfaces are represented. More importantly check
on the size of the views taking care that they are
proportioned properly.
3. Draw the object using light lines first to give easier time for
erasures. Later when the view drawn is acceptable, the lines
will be made darker.
Sample orthographic views:

1) Pencil
2) Eraser
3) Protractor
4) Compass
5) Drawing table
6) T-square
7) Triangle
8) A4 paper

 II. Isometric Drawing

Isometric drawing is a drawing wherein objects is represented by three skills and

are seen at one time. The term isometric comes from ISO which means equal and metric
means measure. This means therefore that the isometric view is in equal measure to its
orthographic views. Isometric also means that the measurements of the angles are equal as
formed by their three axes.
There are three axes of an isometric drawing: the vertical, the left 20 degrees
cross axis and the right 30 degrees cross axes.

Activity 3
Isometric Drawing
Procedure:
1) Draw the vertical axis and then lay the height.
2) Draw the left and right degrees cross axis.
3) Measure the width and depth of the object.
4) Draw parallel lines to the width and depth to
complete the three faces of the object.

isometric drawing. Note: Use mm. unit of measurement.

Welding Symbol
Location of Elements: The elements of a welding symbol have standard locations with
respect to each other.
Location Significance of Arrow: The arrow element in a welding symbol in conjunction
with the reference line determines the arrow side and other side of a weld.
The symbol depicting an arrow side weld is always placed below the
reference line. The arrow side is always closest to the reader when viewed from the
bottom of the drawing. The weld symbol depicting other side weld is placed above
the reference line, away from the reader. Welds on both side of a joint are shown by
placing weld symbols on both sides of the reference line.

6
 Some weld symbols have no arrow or other side significance. However,
supplementary symbols used in conjunction with these weld symbols may have such
significance. For example, welding symbols for resistance spot and seam welding
have no side significance, but GTAW, EBW, or other spot and seam welds may have
arrow and other side.
References: When a specification, process, test, or other references is needed to
clarify a welding symbol, the reference is placed in a tail on the welding symbol. The
letters CJP may be used in the tail of the arrow to indicate that a complete joint
penetration groove weld is required, regardless of the type of weld or joint
preparation. The tail may be omitted when no specification, process, or other
reference is required with a welding symbol.
Dimensions: Dimensions of a weld are shown on the same side of the reference
line as the weld symbol. The size of the weld is shown to the left of the weld symbol,
and the length of the weld is placed on the right. If a length is not given, the weld
symbol applies to that portion of the joint between abrupt changes in the direction of
welding or between specified dimension lines. If a weld symbol is shown on each
side of the reference line, dimensions are required to be given for each weld even
though both welds are identical.
Either US Customary or SI units may be used when specifying dimensions. However,
only one of the two should be used for a product or project.
If a weld in a joint is to be intermittent, the length of the increments and the pitch
(center-to-center spacing) are placed to the right of the weld symbol.
The term weld symbol and welding symbol have different meanings. A weld symbol
indicates the required type of weld. The welding symbol includes the weld symbol and
supplementary information. A complete welding symbol consists of the following elements:
• Reference line
• Arrow
• Basic weld symbol
• Dimensions and other data
• Supplementary symbol
• Finish symbol
• Tail
• Specification, process and other references

Weld Symbols
Weld symbols are intended to be based in conveying the information among the designer,
shop and fabrication personnel.
• Type of joint
• Type of joint preparation
• Side of groove preparation and welding
• Type of weld
• Size of weld
a. Type of Joint
A joint is a junction of members or the edges of members that are to be joined or
have been joined. The five basic joints used in welding are:

Summary
Orthographic project means of representing three-dimensional objects in two
dimensions. It is a form of parallel projection lines are orthogonal to the project plane,
resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing
surface. (Wikipedia)
‘ Welding symbols provides the means of placing complete welding information on
drawings. Any welded joint indicate by a symbol will always have an arrow side and other
side. Accordingly, the terms arrow side, other side, and both sides are used herein to locate
the weld with respect to joint.
Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional n two
dimensions in technical and engineering drawings. It is a axonometric projection in which the
three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and angle between any two of them is
120 degrees. (Wikipedia).
