ENGINEERING DRAWING AND PLANS

Module 2: Line types and their application

There are technical drawings of different lines, whose application for underwriting
certain elements is foreseen. A line can be a straight or a curve, they must have a
specific starting point and an endpoint, and may be with or without interruption through
his.

Here is a list with different line types and their application:

1. Full line, narrow

 Dimension line
 Witness line
 Light Edge
 Note and reference lines
 Hatch
 Short funds lines
 Thread reason
 Dimension line limitation
 Diagonally crosses the flat surfaces characterize
 Bending lines (with tubes and machined parts)
 Framing/Form

2. Freehand line, narrow

 Drawing of views and limitations interrupted cuts (drawn freehand)

3. Criss-cross line, narrow

 Drawing of limitations interrupted views and slices (with automatic character

Signed)

4. Volllinie, broad

 silhouette visible
 visible edge
 Thread Gust
 Limit the usable length of thread
 Form division lines

5. Streak line, narrow

 covert edges
 covert outlines

6. Streak line width

 Identification of surface treatments

7. Streak point line, narrow

 Midline
 Symmetry Line
 Part circle (with holes)
 Part circle (with teeth

8. Streak point line, wide

 Cutting levels
 Identification of division lines in the form of cuts
 Identification of limited areas, e.g. Treatment

9. Two-stroke point line:

 Focus lines
 Outlines of adjacent components
 End positions of movable parts

Knowing the purpose of each types of lines, let us now perform your first technical
drawing activity. The instruction is given in task 1.
