Importance of Engineering Graphics
The construction of plane figures such as triangle, circles, and polygons etc.,
used in plane geometry is called geometrical constructions.
(i) A Pentagon is that which has five equal sides.
(ii) A hexagon is that which has six equal sides.
(iii) A heptagon is that which has seven equal sides.
(iv) An octagon is that which has eight equal sides.
(v) A nonagon is that which has nine equal sides.
(vi) A decagon is that which has ten equal sides.
(vii) An UN decagon is that which has eleven equal sides.
(viii) A duo decagon is that which has twelve equal sides.
(ix) A diagonal of a polygon is the line joining any two of its angular points.
Bisect the line, Bisect the Arc, and Draw the perpendicular line
To divide a line into any number of equal part and Bisect angle between two
lines
SCALE
Principle of 1st angle and 3rd angle projection. Projection of points situated in all
the four quadrants. Problems involving projection of points, projection of two
points situated indifferent quadrants.
Engineering Curves
Construct an ellipse by eccentricity
Construct a parabola by eccentricity
Construct a hyperbola by eccentricity
SPECIAL CURVES
INVOLUTE:
An involute is the locus of a point on a string, as the string unwinds itself from a
line or polygon, or a circle, keeping always the string taut.
Position of points:
(i) In front of the VP and above the HP
(ii) In front of the VP and in the HP
(iii) In the VP and above the HP
(iv) Behind the VP and above the HP
(v) Behind the VP and in the HP
(vi) Behind the VP and below the HP
(vii) In the VP and below the HP
(viii) In front of the VP and below the HP
(ix) In the VP and HP
GENERAL PROCEDURE TO DRAW PROJECTION
OF POINTS
3. Along this projector mark by dots the distances of the given point form the
HP and VP, on the corresponding side of the XY line, depending upon the
quadrant in which the point lies, to locate the front view and the top view,
respectively.
4. Make the front view and the top view bold and rub off the unwanted length
of the projector to complete the solution.
