TLE-IA-CARPENTRY
Quarter 0 – Module 7

Analyze 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 Carpentry. 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.

The module is talking about this lesson:

• Lesson 4 – Interpret drawings and plans

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Identify signs, symbols and data in interpreting drawings and plans.
2. Determine appropriate signs and symbols needed in the plan
3. Value the importance of signs and symbols.

What I Know

Let us determine how much you already know about identifying materials and tools
applicable to a specific construction job.

Direction: List down the different kinds of line that you have remembered.

4 INTERPRET DRAWINGS AND PLANS

Alphabet of Lines

In sketching orthographic drawing, certain conventional lines are used for a definite
purpose. These lines are commonly called Alphabet of Lines.

What’s In

Before we proceed to the next topic, let’s have a short review from the previous lesson.

Decimal – number expressed in a counting system that uses units of 10, especially
a decimal fraction
Fraction – number expressed as a quotient of two other numbers
Calculation – the act or process of or result of calculating
Standard – serves as a measure of reference

 DRAWING SIGNS AND SYMBOLS

Alphabet of Lines

In sketching orthographic drawing, certain conventional lines are used for a definite
purpose. These lines are commonly called Alphabet of Lines.

USES OF ALPHABET OF LINES

Construction line
Very light line used to “block in” an object. These lines are made so light that
little or no erasing is needed. They serve as base for darkening in the
permanent line.
Borderline
Heavy, solid line used to frame in the drawing
Visible line
A medium line used to show edges and contours visible to the eye.
Invisible line
A medium line used to show edges and contours not visible to the eye.
Centerline
A light line used as axis of symmetry. Used for center of circle and arcs.
Sometimes the symbol is shown.
Dimension line

3
 Light thin lines used to show the sizes of the object. Extension lights start
about 1/16” from visible or object line. The dimension line is broken near
the center for the dimension.
Long break line
Heavy line draws freehand for same purpose.

What’s More
