Objective
• Dimensioning standards
• Sheet Planning
• Lettering
• Orthographic Projection
• Practice
Sheet Planning
• Every drawing sheet is to follow a particular layout. As a standard
practice sufficient margins are to be provided on all sides of the
drawing sheet.
• Boarders: boarder line is drawn with HB pencil. ½’’ space from all
sides except from left where it is kept at 1’’.

c= ½ “
d= 1”
• Seal/Title: An important feature on every drawing sheet. This is
located at the bottom right hand corner of every sheet and provides
the technical and administrative details of the drawing.
• The design of Seal/title is fixed for particular organization and in
some cases it is printed on blank sheets.
• The title box is divided into two zones
• Identification zone : In this zone the details like the identification
number or part number, Title of the drawing, legal owner of the
drawing, etc. are to be mentioned.
• Additional information zone : Here indicative items lime symbols
indicting the system of projection, scale used, etc., the technical items
lime method of surface texture, tolerances, etc., and other
administrative items are to be mentioned.
• Layout:
Lettering

• Lettering Styles
• Shape of Letters
• Order of Drawing Lines
• Character Uniformity
• Spacing
Pencil Technique

• The best pencil for lettering on most surfaces are the H, F, and HB
grades.
• Hold your pencil in the position shown. It should make approximately
a 60 angle with the paper.
• Pull the pencil or pen across the paper. All lettering strokes should be
a pulling motion.

• Press down hard when using a pencil.

• Vertical capital letters are preferred for most technical work. They are
formed within a 6 by 6 grid.
• Most letters are slightly narrower than they are tall. The shapes of the
letters are as open as possible. Letters with small loops and crossing
strokes are avoided
• This sequence is recommended to assure that each letter is the
correct width in relation in height. For example, form the two vertical
sides of the “H”, “N” and “M” first. Form the top of the “T” first.
Style

• The style of engineering lettering we will use in this course is Single

Stroke Gothic Lettering
• Notice that only capital letters are demonstrated, since we will use
only capital letters on drawings
Lettering – Vertical Gothic Font
Lettering with Fractions
Drawing Scales
Scale is the ratio of the linear dimension of an element of an object
shown in the drawing to the real linear dimension of the same element
of the object.
Drawing Scales
Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follow
SCALE 1:1for full size
SCALE X:1for enlargement scales (X > 1)
SCALE X:1for reduction scales(X < 1)
Dimension numbers shown in the drawing are correspond
to “true size” of the object and they are independent of
the scale used in creating that drawing
