HOW TO DRAW AND READ DRAWINGS
When working on machining, you always have to use the drawings.
Proper viewing and drawing of drawings is important for conveying information accurately.
This time, we summarized how to draw and read the drawings.

DESCRIPTION AND NAMES OF THE DRAWING LINES


There are the following four types of lines depending on the shape.
Solid line Continuous line
Dashed line A line in which short lines are repeated at regular intervals.
Chain line A line in which two long and short lines are alternately repeated.
Chain double-dashed line A line in which two types of length are repeated in the order of
long, short, short, long, short, short.
There are three types of lines depending on the thickness.
Narrow line In the same drawing,
Thick line make the line thickness
Extra thick line uniform for each line type.

The ratio of the thickness of the thin line, thick line, and extra-thick line is 1: 2: 4.

THE USERS OF LINE


Use different types of lines depending on the purpose.The main uses according to the type of line are as follows.

Line Style Name by Use The Uses of Line


Thick solid line Outline It is used for represent the shape of the visible part of the object.
Dimension line It is used for writing dimensions.
Thin solid line Extension line It is used to draw from a figure to fill in dimensions.
Leader line It is used for drawing out descriptions and symbols.
Thin dashed line
Hidden Outline It is used for represent the shape of the invisible part of the object.
Or Thick dashed line
It is used for represent the center of the figure.
Center line
In particular, it is used to clearly indicate the basis of position
Thin Chain line Reference line
determination.
Pitch line
A reference line that takes the pitch of repeated figures.
Thin Chain double- Imaginary line It is used to display information that is not actually there for reference.
dashed line

Thin wave line Break line A line representing the boundary when a part of an object is
temporarily removed.
Thin chain line with

HOW TO DRAW AND READ DRAWING (BASIC)

TRIGONOMETRY Based on the front view


View from right side draws on the right
View from left side draws on the left
In general, mechanical drawings are drawn by trigonometry. View from the top draws above
View from the bottom draws below
This is the basic!

E Bottom View

SYMBOL FOR DIMENSIONING USED IN DRAWING


In drafting, use a dimension symbol to clarify the meaning of the dimension by adding it to the numerical value
representing the dimension.
The main dimension auxiliary symbols are as follows.

Description of
Symbol Purpose of use
numetrical value Symbol for dimensioning
Diameter Put it before diameter dimension represent the shape.

Radius Put it before radius dimension


Diameter of Sphere Put it before diameter of sphere dimension
Radius of Sphere Put it before radius of sphere dimension
Sides of Square Put it before dimension of a side of square
Thickness of Maaterial Put it before thickness of material dimension
45 degs Chamfering Put it before 45 degs chamfering dimension

Example of use

Diameter Radius Diameter of Sphere Radius of Sphere Sides of Square Thickness of 45 degs chamfering
material

This time we explained the terminology, but next time, we will summarize the points to note
when actually drawing and points to draw easy-to-view drawings.
