Auxiliary View
11 AUXILLIARY VIEW

Object may be irregular face - inclined to the normal planes of

projection
True shape can be obtained by projection to an auxiliary plane parallel
to the face
The view is know as auxiliary view
Examples of objects requiring auxiliary views:

Auxiliary View
11 AUXILLIARY VIEW

Auxiliary view must be projected from principal view which provides

the edge view of the inclined irregular face

Auxiliary View
11 AUXILLIARY VIEW

Measurements of length are projected from the edge view of the

inclined irregular face
Measurements of width are transferred from other principal view,
normally measured from reference plane (RP)
Auxiliary views should always be drawn in 3rd angle projection

Common auxiliary view

View obtained by looking perpendicularly at the inclined face and projecting
the true shape on auxiliary plane
Removed view, where the view is moved from its normal position without
changing orientation - for convenience, clarity, dimensioning purposes, etc.
The word 'view' and direction 'A' (e.g) should be used.
If the removed view need to be orientated, the number of degrees and its
direction must be stated

Producing auxiliary view

Draw front view, and side view
Draw reference line/plane (RP), any position.
Project length from front view
Complete the widths, arc, circles etc.
