    ALPHABET OF

    MECHANICAL
    LINES
    Alphabet of Mechanical Lines
    This is a set of lines that becomes an
    integral part of the working drawing.
    The lines have different forms, tones
    and constructions resulting to
    different uses and meaning in the
    work.
    BORDER LINE
    This is an extra-heavy or black line
    that is used to envelope a working
    drawing. It is made solid throughout
    its desire length.
    OBJECT LINE
    Thisis a thick line that
    represents the outline of the
    design of the object.
    SHORT BREAK LINE

    This is a solid thick line that equivalent


    to an object line that is drawn in
    freehand. It shows a break in a specific
    part of the object
    LONG BREAK (Limit) LINE

     Thisline indicates that the structure had been cut


    for being too big for the paper used, and the
    object is symmetrical in all parts of the design.
    This is drawn in a straight thin form with a
    freehand zigzag.
    INVISIBLE (Hidden or Dashed) LINE

    This line represents the hidden


    intersection of the plane. This is a
    medium broken line that is equally
    spaced within its equal short dashes.
    DIMENSION LINE

    This line gives the size of a given


    space. This is a thin broken line with
    an arrowhead at both ends and a
    break at the center for the insertion
    of a figure.
    EXTENSION (Witness) LINE

    This line controls the dimension


    line. It is drawn perpendicular to
    the dimension line and to the
    surface dimensioned. This is a thin
    solid that is used to witness the
    space dimensioned.
    CENTER LINE

    This indicates the axis of solids, or the


    center of a circular feature. This is
    drawn in a thin broken form consisting
    of a short dash (1/8”) sandwiched
    between two long dashes. This is also
    called Axis Line.
    PHANTOM LINE

    This line represents the movement


    of adjustable parts.
    CUTTING PLANE LINE
    This is a heavy line that shows the
    direction of the cut in sectioning an
    object. It often comes in form of two 1/8
    “short dashes between two long dashes,
    ending in arrowheads at its end.
    SECTION (Crosshatching) LINE

    This line shows the kind of material


    used in the object. This is given in a
    thin solid form, evenly spaced at 45ْ.
    CONSTRUCTION (Layout) LINE]

    This is used in laying-out the


    outline of the object at its
    development stage and in the
    construction of parts. This is a
    very thin solid line.
    PROJECTION LINE
    This line shows the relation between
    parts or views of the object. This is
    made in a very thin form like a
    construction line.
    For Example:

    1. Visible
    2. Hidden
    3. Center
