The document provides information on various technical drawing techniques including:
- Isometric drawing which shows 3 sides of an object in dimensional proportion at 30 degree angles.
- Orthographic/multiview drawings which show views of an object from different sides by projecting its outline onto planes.
- Dimensioning drawings accurately with the necessary dimensions for construction and no redundant measurements.
- One point perspective which depicts depth and distance to give drawings a 3D feeling.

They show 3 sides, all in dimensional proportion. ● All vertical lines are drawn vertically but all horizontal lines are drawn at 30* to the base line ● Isometric is an easy way to draw 3D images One of the best ways to communicate one's ideas is through some form of picture or drawing. This is especially true for the engineer. The purpose of this guide is to give you the basics of engineering sketching and drawing.
Isometric Drawing The representation of the object in figure 2 is called an isometric drawing. This is one of a family of three- dimensional views called pictorial drawings.
In an isometric drawing, the object's vertical lines are drawn
vertically, and the horizontal lines in the width and depth planes are shown at 30 degrees to the horizontal.
When drawn under these guidelines, the lines parallel to
these three axes are at their true (scale) lengths. Lines that are not parallel to these axes will not be of their true length. Figure 7 - An isometric view with dimensions.
● A"dimensioned" the object in the isometric drawing in figure
7. ● As a general guideline to dimensioning, try to think that you would make an object and dimension it in the most useful way. ● Put in exactly as many dimensions as are necessary for the craftsperson to make it -no more, no less. ● Do not put in redundant dimensions. These will clutter the drawing. ● Repeatedly measuring from one point to another will lead to inaccuracies. Orthographic or Multiview Drawing Imagine that you have an object suspended by transparent threads inside a glass box, as in figure 3.
Figure 3 - The block suspended in a glass box.
Then draw the object on each of three faces as seen from that direction. Unfold the box (figure 4) and you have the three views. We call this an "orthographic" or "multiview" drawing. Orthographic projection • -a method of projection in which an object is depicted using parallel lines to project its outline on to a plane. In order to get the feel of what dimensioning is all about, we can start with a simple rectangular block. With this simple object, only three dimensions are needed to describe it completely. There is little choice on where to put its dimensions. • Dimensioning PERSPECTIVE DRAWING
This is what gives a three-dimensional feeling to a flat image such as a drawing or a painting. In art, it is a system of representing the way that objects appear to get smaller and closer together the farther away they are from the viewer.
