 WHAT IS OBLIQUE DRAWING?

The word “oblique” means “slanting” There

are three axes-vertical, horizontal and oblique.
The oblique axis, called receding axis is drawn
either at 30o or 45o. Thus an oblique drawing
can be drawn directly without resorting to
projection techniques
 TYPES OF OBLIQUE DRAWING

1. Cavalier Projection
When an oblique drawing
is prepared to the exact t

dimensions of an object, it
is called a Cavalier
L
Projection. In many
instances, however,

cavalier projections make
object appear distorted.
Types of Oblique Drawing …continue……

1. Cabinet Projection
To reduce distortion, the
t/2 dimensions of receding
lines of an object can be
drawn half-scale. When
L/2
this is done the resulting
Fig: Cabinet Projection oblique view is called
Cabinet Projection .
To draw the oblique view of a rectangular prism lying on H.P. The length
and width of the rectangular face are 2" and 1" respectively. The height of
the prism is 1.5".
