Multiview Concept View

 Image on a projection plane.
 A projection theory is based on 2 variables:
 View depends on a relative orientation Rotate
1) Line of sight
between an object and a plane.
2) Plane of projection (image or picture plane)
 Multiview drawing
 Line of sight (LOS) Tilt

is an imaginary flat plane upon which the image
created by the LOS is projected.

Definition
 Multiview drawing is a set of related images that are created by viewing the
object from a different direction.

Hidden line drawing Center line drawing

 Center line should always start and end with long dash.
 A curve hidden line should start on a center line.
 In a circular view, short dash of a center line should cross at the
center of the circle or arc.
 Center line should not extend between views.

 For a small hole, a center line is presented as a thin continuous line.
 Leave a gap when centerline forms a continuation with a visible or
