A point is a geometrical element with no dimensions that is represented by a dot. In engineering drawings, the actual position of a point is designated by capital letters and shown through its projections in the front view, top view, and side view. Projection lines connect the different views of each point and are drawn as thin continuous lines, with the projector between the front and top views always perpendicular to the reference xy line. The document then provides examples of how different points are projected based on their position relative to the horizontal and vertical reference planes.

Projection of Points • A point is defined as a geometrical element that has no dimension – It is represented by a dot • A point lying in the space Conventional Presentation • The actual position of a point is designated by capital letters such as A, B, C, P, Q, R etc • Front view – VP • Top view – HP • Side view – PP • Reference line or xy line – The line of intersection of the principal planes (VP & HP) – It should be drawn as continuous narrow line Conventional Presentation • The conventions used to represent the projections of a point are
• Projection lines or projectors
– The lines connecting the front, the top and the side views of a point – They are drawn as thin continuous line – The projector connecting the front and the top views of a point is always perpendicular to the reference line (xy).
