3. Outcomes of today’s lecture Able to explain:
The used & importance of engineering graphics
Basic sketching techniques
Common standard and guidelines used in technical drawing
4. Overview Engineering graphics communication involves the use of visual material to convey technical ideas and problem solutions.
Engineering or technical drawing – one of the most widely used method.
Definition of drawing:
A graphic representation of an idea, concept or an entity which actually or potentially exists in life.
5. Overview Importance:
A way of communication between engineers at all stages of the design & problem solving from initial ideas, design, analysis & manufacturing.
For Visualisation, Communication and Documentation
6. Overview Types of drawing :
artistic
technical
Illustrations
rendering
7. Overview Examples of different drawing types
8. Sketching
9. Sketching
3 methods of creating technical drawings
Freehand, mechanical & digital
Technical sketching is the process of producing a rough preliminary drawing representing the main features of a product or structure
Normally done by freehand, generally less finished, less structured/ restricted, & take less time to produce
10. Sketching Technical sketches
Used extensively in the first stage of design process to visualise or convey ideas
An informal tool used by everyone involved in the design & manufacture of a product
11. Sketching Sketching tool
Paper, pencils, eraser
Sketching technique e.g.
Straight line sketch
Circle & arc
Component (proportional sketch)
Pictorial sketch
In sketching, proportionality is important.
Even though it is a freehand sketch, the lines should be relatively sharp and straight for a good quality sketch.
12. Sketching Sketching straight line
13. Sketching Sketching circle
14. Sketching Multi-view and pictorial sketches
16. Technical Illustrations in the 21st Century The needs for technical illustrations and technical illustrators are increasing due to various factors including warranty issues demanding higher-quality documentations.
17. Illustrations versus Drawings A technical drawing is used for designing and manufacturing a machine. It is always a scale representation of a unit or part, providing views that are needed to furnish an accurate visual description.
In technical drawings, even the smallest detail must be defined precisely to ensure that the drawing is unambiguous.
Technical illustrations are in many ways the exact opposite since they have a completely different purpose. The intention is to depict a part in such a way that it is quickly and clearly recognizable.
In a technical illustration, less is often more, in that less detail will make the picture more understandable.

21. Engineering Graphics & Manual Drawing
22. Engineering graphics Drawings are widely used in engineering applications: manufacturing, design, structural, electrical, etc.
Standards and conventions
To ensure everybody using the same method
Commonly used:
ANSI, ASME, ISO, JIS, MS, DIN, BS
What will you learn
Producing engineering drawings
Interpreting engineering drawings
Graphics theory, visualization,
standards, conventions,
Applications, etc.
23. Engineering graphics E.g. Anatomy of a technical drawing
24. Drawing layout One of the important aspect in technical drawing is the layout
What is drawing layout?
Example of engineering drawing with layout
Paper size
‘Components’ of a layout
Title block
Our layout
25. Drawing layout Drawing layout is the standard template and components of a drawing
E.g.
26. Drawing layout Drawing sheets – paper sizes
Usually based on 'A' series
Drawing sheets material - paper, linen, plastic film
Drawing sheet layout
Sheet frames or border
Usually 20mm for A0 & A1, 10mm for others
Title block or title frame
Represents general information source for a drawing
Usually at bottom right-hand corner
27. Paper size – additional info
28. Paper size – additional info
31. Drawing layout - components
32. Drawing layout – title block A title block is the form on which the actual drawing is a section. The title block includes the border and the various sections for providing quality, administrative and technical information. The importance of the title block cannot be minimised as it includes all the information which enables the drawing to be intepreted, identified and archived.
E.g.
33. Drawing layout - title block A title block is the form on which the actual drawing is a section. The title block includes the border and the various sections for providing quality, administrative and technical information. The importance of the title block cannot be minimised as it includes all the information which enables the drawing to be intepreted, identified and archived.The title should include sufficient information to identify the type of drawing e.g general arrangement, or detail. It should also clearly describe in a precise way what the drawing portraysThe basic requirements for a title block located at the bottom right hand corner of a drawing are
The registration or ID number
The drawing title
The Legal Owner of the Drawing
These items should be written in a rectangle which is at the most 170mm wide.The tile block should also include boxes for the legal signatures of the originator and other persons involved production of the drawing to the required quality. The drawing should also include a symbol identifying the projection. The main scale and the linear dimension units if other than "mm".

35. Example: Title block
36. Lettering
Text is an important part of a technical drawing. Not all info required on technical dwg can be communicate graphically such as dimensions.
One method of creating text is by freehand lettering. The standard style for freehand lettering is single-stroke Gothic lettering.
37. Lettering Characteristic of good lettering
Should be neat, not sloppy
Should be uniform and consistent i.e. same height, proportion & inclination – use guidelines
Should have proper spacing of letters and words
Should not contain unnecessary frills
Should use capital letters except for standard abbreviation e.g. mm, kg
Recommended minimum height 2.5mm
Recommended height 5mm to 7mm
Underlining of lettering should be avoided
38. Lines Different line types for different purposes - to ensure drawing to be read quickly & accurately
Types of lines and thickness of line
Commonly used line types & thickness:
39. Lines
40. Scale What does it mean?
Scale indicates the relative size of the drawing object with the real object
Scale used should always be stated on drawing – a very important info that is usually written in the title block.
'do not scale' / 'not to scale‘ / NTS – the drawing is not drawn to a certain scale
Recommended scale
1:1 for full size
for greater than full size
2:1 for twice full size
10:1 for ten times full size
for reduced size
1:2 for half full size
1:10 for tenth full size
other common scale
1:5, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:500 etc.
