    Lettering
    Writing of titles, dimensions, notes and other important particulars on a drawing is lettering.

    Types of Lettering
    Single stroke
    • Thickness of the line of the letter should be such as is obtained in one stroke of the pencil.
    • Does not mean that the letter should be made in one stroke without lifting the pencil.
    • Recommended by B.I.S.
    • It has two types:
    i. Vertical
    ii. Inclined (slope 75 degree with the horizontal)

    Double stroke
    • When more thickness is given to single stroke letters, it is known as double stroke or gothic
    letters.
    Lettering
    Types of Single strokes letter
    Type A
    • They are vertical letters and inclined letters.
    • Height of the letter is divided in 14 equal parts.

    Type B
    • They are vertical letters and inclined letters.
    • Height of the letter is divided in 10 equal parts.
    • Type B is preferred for easy and fast execution, because of the division of height into 10 equal
    parts.

    Note:
    • Lettering in drawing should be in CAPITALS (i.e., Upper-case letters).
    • Lower-case (small) letters are used for abbreviations like mm, cm, etc.
    Guidelines for Lettering in Technical Drawing
    1. Standard height for uppercase or capital letters and numerals according to the Bureau of
    Indian Standards (BIS) is 1.8, 2.5, 3.5, 5, 6, 10, 14, 20 mm.

    Total height of lowercase letters equals that of


    capital letters.
    The height-to-width ratio for letters varies between
    7 : 5 or 7 : 6
    Size of Type A and B
    Vertical & Inclined Capital Letters and Numerical
    Dimensioning
    BIS defines dimension as a numerical value expressed in appropriate units of measurement and
    indicated graphically on technical drawings with lines, symbols & notes.
    Elements of Dimensioning
    Elements of Dimensioning
    System of Dimensioning
    For placing the dimensions on the drawing, following systems can be adopted:

     All the dimensions on a drawing must be shown using either Aligned System or Unidirectional System. Two
    systems should not be mixed on the same drawing.
    Arrangement of Dimensioning
    1. Chain Dimensioning:
    Dimensions are arranged in a straight line.

    2. Parallel Dimensioning:
    All the dimensions are shown from a common base line.
    The smaller dimension is placed nearer the view.

    3. Combined Dimensioning:
    Chain and parallel dimensioning used simultaneously
    Rules of Dimensioning
    1. All the dimensions necessary for the correct functioning of the part should be expressed directly on
    the drawing.
    2. Every dimension should be given, but none should be given more than once.
    3. A dimension should be placed on the view where its use is shown more clearly.
    4. Dimensions should be placed outside the view, as for as possible.
    5. Mutual crossing of dimension lines and dimensioning between hidden lines should be avoided. Also it
    should not cross any other line of the drawing.
    6. An outline or a centre line should never be used as a dimension line. A centre line may be extended to
    serve as an extension line.
    7. Aligned system of dimensioning is recommended.
    8. Dimension lines should be drawn at least 8 mm away from the outlines and from each other.
    9. The extension line should be extended by about 3 mm beyond the dimension line.
    Rules of Dimensioning
    10. When the space is too narrow, the arrow-head may be placed outside. Also a dot may be used
    to replace an arrow-head.

    11. The various methods of dimensioning different sizes of circles are as follows:

    12. Arcs of circles should be dimensioned by their respective radii.


    Rules of Dimensioning
    13. Radii of a spherical surface and square cross section of a rod is shown as below:

    14. Angular dimension may be given as follows:

    15. Method of dimensioning of Chamfer:
