Lecture 4 - Orthographic Drawings
08 AUGUST 2024
Objectives:
By the end of this week, students should be
able to:
• Bolts and nuts + Castings and machine parts of
simple objects from industry
• Division of line segments: equal parts, ratios etc.
• Construction of geometrical figures from given
data-parallel lines, bisecting, triangles, polygons,
rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium
• Scales and application: line scales, diagonal
scales
• Enlarging and reducing equivalent areas.

Page Layout – 3rd Angle Orthographic Projection
Third Angle Orthographic Projection
How to plan your page lay-out
We work with 3 dimensions, namely the length (L), thickness (t) or width (W)
and height (H).
For the front view we use the length and the height.
For any of the side views the height and thickness is use.
For the top view the length and thickness is use.
Border of page
If you been asked to draw a front view, left view and top
view, we know that the front view will be somewhere
around the bottom right side of the page, left view
somewhere around the bottom left side of the page and
the top view somewhere around the top right side of the Drawing border
page. around page
Step 1:
Plot point A by using the Thickness of
the object and measure it from the top
right corner of the 10mm drawing
border.
Step 2:
Plot point B by using the Height of the
object and measure it from the bottom
right corner of the 10mm drawing
border.
Step 3:
To establish the X1 horizontal line,
measure the distance between point
A and point B and divide it by 2. Use
this dimension then and mark down
then the X1 horizontal between
point A and point B.
Step 4:
Draw a second horizontal line that will
be labelled as X2.
Use the height of the object + 10mm to
establish the distance of the X2 line
from the X1 line.
Step 6:
Step 5:
Plot point D by using the Lengths of the object
Plot point C by using the Thickness of the
and measure it from the top right corner of
object and measure it from the top left

corner of the 10mm drawing border.
Step 7:
To establish the Y1 vertical line,
measure the distance between point
C and point D and divide it by 2. Use
this dimension and mark down then
the Y1 horizontal line between point
C and point D.
Step 8:Two additional Y vertical lines can by added. This will indicate the starting
point of the front view as well as left or right view.
Step 9:
Draw in the 45 degree line
