DRAWING AND PLANS
GOALS OF ENGINEERING DRAWING
AND PLANS
• Be familiar with engineering drawings.
• Understand the concept of drafting
• Recognize the types of engineering drawings.
• Properly utilize the scale within a given drawing.
• Locate and recognize the revision of a given print.
• Recognize which type of view, or views, appear on a drawing.
• Identify the types of lines that appear on a drawing.
• Understand dimensions and their respective tolerances.
TWO CLASSES OF DRAWING
• ARTISTIC – The artist expresses aesthetic ideas or emotions.
• TECHNICAL – Exact means of expression and accuracy is one
of the main objective.
DEFINITIONS OF:
• PAINTING
• DRAWING
• DRAFTING
• SKETCHING
PAINTING
• Is a form of visual art that uses wet media.
DRAWING
• Is a form of visual art that uses dry media. It has two types: TECHNICAL
and ARTISTIC.
DRAFTING OR TECHNICAL DRAWING
• Is the act and discipline of composing plans that visually communicate how
something functions or has to be constructed.
• DRAFTING is the visual language of industry and engineering.
• A DRAFTER, DRAFTSPERSON, or DRAFTSMAN is a person who makes a
technical drawing.
• A professional drafter who makes technical drawings is sometimes called
DRAFTING TECHNICIAN.
• DRAFTING is the term used to refer to the systematic representation and
dimensional specifications of mechanical and architectural structures.
SKETCHING
• Is a quickly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a finished
work.
• In general, sketching is a quick way to record an idea for later use.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR DRAWING
• DRAWING BOARD/TABLE
• DRAWING PAPER/PLATES
• TECHNICAL PEN
• MECHANICAL PENCIL
• ERASER
• COMPASS
• T-SQUARE
• TRIANGLES (45x45 and 30x60)
• TRIANGULAR SCALE
• RULER
• PROTRACTOR
DRAWING BOARD/TABLE
• Base for drawing.
DRAWING PAPER
• A drafting media for showing showing the object
TECHNICAL PEN
• A drafting media for illustrating the object
MECHANICAL PENCIL
• A drafting media for freehand guides or sketching the objects.
COMPASS
• Used to draw arcs and circles.
T-SQUARE
• Used to draw horizontal and vertical lines and serves as base material for
triangles.
TRIANGLES (30x60 and 45x45)
• Used to draw inclined lines with proper angle and vertical lines.
TRIANGULAR SCALE
• Used for measuring an object or lines.
RULER
• A straight edge material with measurement graduation used to make and
measure dimensions.
PROTRACTOR
• Used for measurement of angles.
