This article explores various types of engineering drawings, including freehand sketches, pictorial drawings, orthographic drawings, and advanced engineering drawings. Learn about the purpose of engineering drawings and how they are universally accepted in the industry. Discover the benefits, efficiency, and multi-functionality of engineering drawings in different departments and across countries. Delve into advanced techniques such as renderings, auxiliary drawings, sections, assembly drawings, exploded drawings, and animation.

Basic Engineering Drawing Types • 1. Freehand Sketch (2D or 3D) Anything goes Can be 2D or 3D Can be rough and quick or neat, detailed and shaded No tools are used (rulers, protractors, stencils, etc.) • 2. Pictorial Drawings (3D) • Isometric drawings 2. Oblique drawings 3. Perspective drawings • Orthographic Drawing (2D) • Orthographic Projection Drawing (Multi-view Drawings)
Sketching • Pros - Most used, easy, quick, can be used anytime and anywhere • Cons – no set format
Purpose of Engineering Drawings (instead of sketching) • Universally accepted • From department to department within a company • From one company to the next • And even from country to country • Efficient • Drawing gives more information at faster rate then trying to explain it • Save time and money • Multi-functional • Can be used simultaneously in all departments • Design, drafting, prototyping, production, and advertising
Advanced Engineering Drawings • Renderings • Auxiliary • Sections • Assembly • Exploded • Animation
Auxiliary Drawing • TLs • True Lengths • 90
Section Drawing • Cutting Plane • View remaining part from this direction • Ortho view of sectioned part • Solid Material • Removed Part
Exploded Drawing • Balloons • Parts List
