Heres what we talked about

last time..

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

Here we can see all the

principle views of an object
as the glass box is
unfolded.
It is easy to see that some
of the principle views have
more detail through the use
of object (visible) lines than
others.
Always choose views that
have the least amount of
hidden lines in them and
show the most detail.

Surfaces will appear as edges at times. Edges may

be foreshortened (shorter than normal), or True
Length (TL).

Oblique edge lines are

created by oblique surfaces.
These are surfaces that are
neither true shape or true
size in any principle view.

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

Holes and cylinders may appear True Shape and Size

(TSS), or foreshortened depending on the view in which
they appear. (Foreshortened circles will appear as
ellipses.)

Lets now take another look

at multiview drawings in
more detail..

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

We place hidden
lines in a drawing to
do the following
things:
1. Show hidden
features
2. Clarify the position
and shape of
features
3. Make the plate
more readable
(NOTE: The term
plate refers to a
finished drawing.)

Note how hidden lines

follow specific rules
as to how they are to
be laid out.

Depending on the application, hidden lines will either touch

other hidden lines, or pass over them

Center lines are used to

show the theoretically
perfect center of holes,
arcs, cylinders and bolt
circles*.
*A bolt circle is used to
position holes or cylinders
in a circular pattern.

Center lines extend past

the objects they are used
to describe.

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

Center lines will break

their normal shape of a
long dash interrupted by
a short dash if an object
or hidden line needs to
take precedence.
In these examples, only
a short dash is used to
show the center line.

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

When only a short dash is

used to represent a center
line, there must be some
space shown between the
object and the short dash.

Machined Holes:

Here, we can see many

examples of the different
styles of holes that are
used in manufacturing.
Each has a specific layout
when it comes to
displaying them with
hidden lines.

Rounds and Fillets are used to relieve stress and finish

edges on manufactured goods.

Runouts are used to show the topology of cast

parts.

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

More examples of
runouts.

Intersections are used to show the union of two

or more cylinders. Several types of examples are
shown here.

Intersections between cylinders and prisms.

Partial views are often used to simply

symmetrical objects. or to........

focus on only part of the object.

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

Revolved views are used to give a clearer representation of

an object. We actually draw the object incorrectly to make it
easier to understand. Here, webs have revolved to 12, 3 and
6 oclock positions to make the view easier to visualize.

Week 4: Multiview Drawings 2

TECH 104 Technical Graphics Communication

Here, the correct

view of the object
will appear to be a
mass of hidden
lines in the right
side view.
By representing
only the 12 & 6
oclock positions,
we create a view
that is easier to
understand.
Further notes would
be added to the
front view during
dimensioning.

Arms and spokes

are often
revolved to
create a view of
the object that is
easier for the
human brain to
visualize.

Sketching Assignments
Given two orthographic views of an
object, your task is to create the missing
view. The given views may also have
some missing lines that need to be
added.
