• The next slide shows the FINAL activity
• The succeeding slide describes the construction of
the 2D figures that typically apply most of the lines
(visible, center, hidden, section, extension,
dimension, leader, cutting or viewing plane) used in
drawing, i.e. the top, front, r.side and section views.
• The other slides show the construction of the Olympic
rings, Bearing, Curve and the symmetric circles.
Apply center lines & visible lines on these drawings.
