Alphabet of Lines
a. Dimension Lines - A line used to define the measurement of a part feature. Dimension
lines consist of a solid line with arrows at both ends and a dimension in the center.
b. Extension Lines - A line used to visually connect the ends of a dimension line to the
relevant feature on the part. Extension lines are solid and are drawn perpendicular to
the dimension line.
c. Guide Lines –
d. Arrow Heads
e. Figure lines / object lines - A line used to define the shape and size of a part feature. Object
lines are solid.
f. Projection lines - used to indicate the extremities of a dimension. They are
generally drawn up to 1 mm from the outline of the object.
g. Miter lines
h. Broken lines / hidden lines - A line used to define a part feature that is not visible in a
specific view. Hidden lines consist of a series of short dashes.
i. Section lines - A line used to identify the imagined cut portion of a part in a section view.
Section lines appear as a series of diagonal lines drawn close together.
j. Angle indicator
k. Radius lime
l. Cutting plane line - A line used to define the location of the imaginary cut that creates the
matching section view. Cutting plane lines consist of two short dashes alternating with a longer
dash.
m. Phantom line -consist   of   long   dashes separated by pairs of short
dashes.The long dashes may vary in length, depending on the size of
the drawing. Phantom lines show alternate positions of related parts,
adjacent positions of related parts, and repeated detail.
n. Construction line -
o. Leader line - A thin line with an arrow head that is often positioned at an angle and is used to
tie a dimension to a feature, especially when there are space limitations.

B. Isometric view - a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions
in technical and engineering drawings. It is an axonometric projection in which the
three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angles between any two of them are
120 degrees.
C. Orthographic view - Orthographic projection (or orthogonal projection) is a means of
representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is a form of parallel projection,
where all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane,[1]resulting in every plane of
the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.
D. Axonometric view - Axonometric projection is a type of parallel projection, more specifically a
type of orthographic projection, used to create a pictorial drawing of an object, where the object is
rotated along one or more of its axes relative to the plane of projection.
E. Auxiliary View - A view drawn at a right angle to an angled feature of the part. Auxiliary views best
illustrate angled surfaces.
F. Perspective
a. Bird’s eye view
b. Worm’s eye view
c. Eye level
