ENGINEERING GRAPHICS – 1

PERSONAL ADVICE

• Please be in class on time and do not miss any class.

• Submit you work properly.
• FORGET ABOUT CENTIMETER AND USE ONLY MM. Converting to CM takes a lot of time when
there are too many dimensions. My friends did not get time to complete the broad exams due
to this.
• Use the correct pencils.
• CAUTION Do not assume that the teachers might not find a fault of 5mm in the drawing. Their
eyes are damn sharp.

What for What?

A huge confusion to every one is that what pencil should be used for what.

H- For border lines, Title box and Lettering

2H- Object Lines (Outlines), Dotted lines, section plane, dimension lines, leader lines, extension
lines. (The Shade varies for each.)

3h & 4H – Centre lines and sectioning

Note:- do not mix up.

Lettering (Now what kind of hell is this?)

Those who have gone through the ND Bhatt book, don’t worry guys, you don’t have to measure
each and everything. But, it should look the same as given in the book.

Capital letter O, Q, and the numbers 0 and 8 shoud be made of perfect circles.

Don’t mind the dimensions in 3.4 and 3.5 much.

Borders and Title block

A border of 20 has to be given to the top, bottom and the right edges. The right border is 30.

• The Title Block

This must be drawn on the righthand bottom corner of the page. This would contain all
your details and signature as well as marks for that particular sheets will be given in that.

This box is 150 X 70.

NOTE:- All the dimensions will be given like how it has been given in the above picture.
We’d have to calculate either one of the dimensions. Here, the total height and width has
been split up and given.

Fixing the Sheet (Seriously, These boards are too small.)

1. Fix the drafter on the table.

2. Align the scale to 0 position.
3. Take the paper and align it’s longer edge with the horizontal scale (the long one).
4. Tape it.

Using the drafter.

The drafter works under parallel beams mechanism. The scale would be at the same position that
you fixed irrespective of the movement of the drafter arms.

Use is as a normal scale. To draw a vertical line, use the vertical scale and to draw horizontal lines
use the horizontal scale. (I know, it is obvious.)

It is up to you how you’re going to use it.
