I. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY (MELC): TLE_IACP7/8ID0f-1

Analyze Signs, Symbols and data

OBJECTIVES:
1. Define alphabet of lines.
2. Identify the uses of different alphabet of lines.
3. Apply the signs and symbols needed in a plan.

II. GENERAL DIRECTIONS

Read the information about Analyze Signs, Symbols and data below. Do the
learning task, answer the written works and follow the instruction provided for each
task. Use a separate sheet of paper if needed.
III. ACTIVITIES/ LEARNING TASKS:
Learning Task 1: Introduction

FACT OR BLUFF: Do you know that the carpenters’ pencil are flat? The common
pencils we use in school are round, those are the typical pencil we see even in the market,
but carpenter pencils is different in shape it is more of an elliptical with long flat sides in
order to keep them rolling off the surface.

Learning Task 2: Development

Carpentry works made up of signs and symbols used to express the specification and
details of a drawing plan. These signs and symbols are used to relay messages that are
needed in a drawing plan. They help us understand the world of carpentry.
Alphabet of Lines
The Alphabet of Lines is a list of line symbols that use in technical drawings to convey
specific shapes, sizes or surfaces. ... In the Alphabet of Lines, thick, dark lines represent the
outline of an object, showing its visible outlines and edges.

The various types of lines are as follows:

1. Construction lines - are very light lines used to “block in” an object. These lines are made so
light that little or no erasing is required.It is applied as base
for darkening within the permanent line

2. Border line are extra heavy lines used to frame a drawing.

3. Visible Lines- Also referred to as a Object line. It has a

dark, heavy lines and shows the outline and shape of
and object.

4. Invisible Line/ Hidden Line- are short dashes that are broken. They represent the hidden
parts of an object which need to be shown but are not visible from a particular view.

5. Center Line - may be thin, long, or short dashes that indicate the center of any
symmetrical figure.

6. Dimension Line - consist of two thin lines having arrowheads and measurements.

7.Extension Line- These are thin lines that extend from the edge of a view so that the
dimension lines may be placed between them.

8.Section Line- Indicates the material that has been cut through in a sectional view

Figure 7 K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum Technology and Livelihood Education Learning Module

9.Cutting Plane Line-Thick broken line that’s terminated with short 90 degree arrowheads.
Shows where a portion is mentally cut in half to better check the interior detail.

 10. Break lines are used to show the part of an object which has been removed or broken
away. Short breaks are made with a thick, solid freehand line. Long breaks are drawn
with a thin, solid line.

11.Phantom Line-Thin lines made from long dashes alternating with pairs of short dashes.
These are used to show the position of a part of an object that moves. If a handle is drawn
with a visible line, its rotated position is shown with phantom lines.
