9 Technical Drawing
LO.1. Analyze Signs, Symbols and Data

What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here
to help you master the nature of Technical and Livelihood Education, in
the field of Technical Drafting. The scope of this module permits it to be
used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in
which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook
you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

LO.1. Analyze signs, symbols and data

1. Identify signs and symbols used in technical drawing

2. Analyze data indicated in the technical drawing

In going through the module, you have to extend your patience in

understanding, analyzing what you are reading. Follow the directions
and/or instructions in the activities. Answer the entire given test and
exercises carefully. Comply the required activities provided.

 What’s In

On the previous lesson, you’ve learned all about mensuration and

calculation, and also ask to perform the task about measuring an object.

Before we proceed on this lesson, let me ask you some question. How
do you prepare yourself for a day, like during breakfast? What preparations
were given to you by your parents? Were you asked to get the onions and garlic
in the kitchen because you’ll be cooking your favourite “Isdang Paksiw” for the
breakfast? Did your parents tell you to wash the cooking utensils before using?

In the world of Technical Drafting, always prepare yourself for tasks that
you will be performing, even if it’s time-pressured, seeking immediate accuracy
and presentable.

One of the constant elements made in Technical Drafting is making of

lines. For sure, you only knew about straight and curve lines. But there’s more
to know about lines. And that’s the first thing you must know in this lesson. You
need to identify the different kinds of lines and its meaning.

 What’s New

Attached in this module includes drawing templates, and portfolio of the

drawing activities you must perform for the compilation of the drawing plates.
For you to start with, perform Task Sheet 1 – Still Life Drawing.

Task Sheet No.: 1

Task Sheet Title: Still Life Drawing
Description: This activity is to test your skill in drawing. It doesn’t matter if
you are well-versed in drawing or a newbie. The purpose is to identify your
range in the visual-spatial aspect of intelligence. Consider this one a start of
your journey in Technical Drafting.
DIRECTIONS: Inside your house, look for any of these objects (plants, flower,
leaf, etc.). Place it on a table. Sit closely on the object. Draw your chosen
object exactly in the angle as how you see it. Do this in a one (1) whole sheet
of bondpaper in legal size. You will be rated according to the rubrics below.
Tools/Materials to be used:
 1 Legal size Bondpaper
 1 Pencil
 1 Eraser

What is It

LINES
Line is one of the basic elements of art along with color, form, texture,
value, volume and perspective. In Basic Math, you can create a line just by
connecting two points. Line signifies many meanings and translations. Take a
look at your palm. Every line signifies meaning of your life.

We see or portray lines in the objects of nature. They are either visible
or imaginative. We use them to draw the forms of object or to track direction of
movements. They give mental suggestions whether we are conscious of it or
not.

There are two types of lines. Straight and Curved Lines.

Straight Line

Curved Line

KINDS OF STRAIGHT LINES

1. Vertical Line. Give the quality of dignity, royalty and jubilance.

5
 2. Horizontal Line. Give the idea of stability, stagnancy and tranquility.

3. Diagonal Line. Suggest action, progress and ascension.

4. Broken Lines. Suggest conflict, violence, speed and struggle.

TYPES OF CURVED LINES

1. Restrained Curve. One with a subtle bend as the shape of a woman’s
body.

2. Simple Curve. Has more pronounced bend than the restrained curve.

3. Full Curve. More forceful than the first two and follows movements of
the letter “c”.

4. Compound Curve. Changes the bend towards the opposite direction

which follows the graceful movements of letter “S”.

ALPHABET OF LINES

In drawing and drafting, lines are used to emphasize clearly and

understand well what is being drawn. In the same way that letters are related
to words, lines describe drawings.
Lines are characterized according to their forms (shape) and weight
(thickness or thinness).
Usually, medium soft pencils (F or H) are used for thick lines, while
slightly hard pencils (2H) are used for thinner lines. These lines are often called

6
“Alphabet” of lines. The figures below will show how each line looks like, and
explains their uses and characteristics.

1. Hidden Lines. Used to show surfaces, edges, or corners of an object

that are hidden from view. HL are invisible medium weight lines used to
designate or represent certain
parts or edges of an object
which are not visible in a
drawing; consist of dashes 1/8”
long and spaced 1/16” apart.
2. Center Line. To designate the center of an arc, a circle or symmetrical
objects, this kind of line is used consisting of light weight short (1/8”) and
long dashes (3/4”).

3. Extension and Dimension Lines. Light lines, with dimension numbers

between each line ending with arrowheads to indicate the end of the
specified dimension, the limit of which is designated by the extension
lines.

4. Leader Lines. Leaders are used to indicate the part of the drawing to
which a note refers. Arrowheads touch the object lines while the dot rests
on a surface.

7
5. Long Break Lines. This line indicates that the structure had been cut
for being too big for the paper used, and the object is symmetrical in all
parts of the design. This is drawn in a straight thin form with a freehand
zigzag.

6. Short Break Lines. This is a solid thick line equivalent to an object line
that is drawn in freehand. It shows a break in a specific part of the object,
as in sectioning and irregular breaks of the object.

7. Cutting Plane Lines. Used when an imaginary cut through an object is

to be along the line. It consists of long dashes between a short dash
(1/8”).

8. Visible Lines. Show the outline of the object (in medium weight) once it
has been drawn; thus otherwise known as “object lines”.

8
 9. Section Lines. Are also light weight lines and drawn fully to show a clear
cut of a part showing the kind of material used for the object.

What’s More

Activity 1. Sketching Lines

DIRECTIONS: Figures
shown below are suggested
exercises on lines and curves to
be drawn in your TLE –
Technical Drafting Activity
Notebook. Choose only 4 of the

 What I Can Do

In order for you to practice your freehand drawing skills, you must
perform Task Sheet 2: Lines and Curves. You may think at first, you can’t do
the tasks. But once you get started, you will find enjoyment and fulfilment while
performing the tasks. So, let’s get started.

Description: This activity is to test the flexibility of your hands, accuracy,
focus and neatness of your work. Extreme focus and concentration is the key
in accomplishing the task. Neatness is a must to achieve perfection in this
work.
DIRECTIONS: Inside the drawing template, there are 6 blank boxes for you to
draw. Draw the items in Drawing Plate 2 provided. Follow the drawing plates
accurately. Your output will be rated accordingly with the rubrics below.

Task Sheet No.: 3
Task Sheet Title: Mechanical Lines
Description: There are 2 Drawing Plates you need to accomplish in this task
namely: Mechanical Lines and Alphabet of Lines. These activities will test your
eye accuracy, focus and neatness of your work. Extreme focus and
concentration is the key in accomplishing the task. Neatness is a must to
achieve perfection in this work. A cleaner work means higher rating in this task.
This task is the same as Task Sheet 2, but now using rulers and triangles. Tip:
Don’t press your pencil hard. Try to draw lightly. Apply less pressure in holding
the pencil.
