1.1 Principles of Engineering Graphics and its Significance
What is Engineering Graphics?
Engineering graphics is a way to share technical ideas using pictures, sketches, and drawings. It
helps engineers and technicians show and understand how things work or how they should be
made.
Main Principles of Engineering Graphics:
Orthographic projection: Showing 3D objects using flat, 2D views (like front, top, and side).
Descriptive geometry: Explaining the size and shape of objects.
Graphical representation: Using lines, colors, and symbols to share information.
Dimensioning and tolerancing: Giving exact sizes and limits for parts.
Visualization: Turning ideas into pictures to make them easier to understand.
Why Engineering Graphics is Important:
Clear communication: Helps share technical ideas without confusion.
Problem-solving: Drawings make it easier to understand and fix design issues.
Design and development: Helps create and improve products.
Documentation: Keeps a record of designs for future use.
Teamwork: Makes it easier for engineers and technicians to work together.
Learning: Helps students and trainees understand technical ideas.
Accuracy: Reduces mistakes by giving clear and exact information.
Creativity: Helps in coming up with new and better designs.

For single-stroke lettering, the use o f
lettering templates is not
recommended.
6) Mini-Drafter
A mini drafter is a handy tool used to quickly draw
parallel,inclined,andperpendicularlines.Itisfixedtothe
top left corner o f a drawing board. It has an L-shaped
scale with mm and angle markings, connected by steel
bars and a clamp that lets it move smoothly across the
board.

7) Instrument Box
Aninstrumentboxholdscommonlyuseddrawingtoolslikecompasses,dividers,pencilandpen
points, inking pen, lead sticks, and more. It keeps the instruments organized and easy to carry.
8) Protractor
A protractor is used to draw and measure the angles. It is
available separately o r as a 45° set-square. A medium-sized
transparent protractor capable o f mea-suring up to 1° is
recommended.
9) Compasses
Compasses are used to draw circles and
arcs. Good-quality steel compasses ensure
accuracy. There are two main types:
Large Compass – Has a needle leg and a
pencillegwithakneejointforadjustingthe
pencilangle.Itcandrawcircleslargerthan

10) Dividers
Dividers are used to transfer
lengths from o ne place to another.
They are also used to set-off
desired distance from the scale o n
thepaper.Sometimes,theyareused
to make precise markings o n the
drawing. Heavy steel dividers
ensure perfection in drawing.
Twosizeso fdividers—(i)largedivider,,and(ii)smallspringbowdivider,,areusedintechnical

11) Roller Scale
A roller scale is a handy device used to draw parallel and
inclined lines. It consists o f a broad scale that includes a
protractormountedo naroller.Theaccuracyo fthisdeviceis
not comparable with the accuracy o f a T-squareanddrafter.
However, it is a speedy device and may be used for practice in classrooms.
12) Pencils:
Pencils are essential tools fordrawing,andtheir
grades affect the quality o f work. The grade,
marked near the pencil's end, helps choose the
righto nefordifferenttypeso flines.Pencilswith
hexagonal or triangular shapes give a better grip.
For technical drawing, use three main grades:
HB (Soft) – for borders, lettering, and freehand sketching
F.Y. B. TechDESH Page No. 5 MMCOE, Pune
Engineering Graphics
H (Medium) – for visible outlines and edges
2H (Hard) – for construction, dimension, center, extension, leader, hatching, and hidden lines

1.3 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is India’s National Standards Body, established on 1 April 1987,
replacing the earlier ISI. Its aim is to support industrial and commercial growth by creating
global-quality product standards. BIS works with international bodies like ISO and has published
several standards for technical drawings, including IS codes and SP 46:2003.
These standards should be followed during drawing practice.
1.4 Drawing sheet layout
Every drawing sheet is to follow a
particular layout. As standard practice
sufficient margins are to be provided on
all sides of the drawing sheet. The
drawing sheet should have a drawing
space and title page. A typical layout of
a drawing sheet is shown in the figure
F.Y. B. TechDESH Page No. 7 MMCOE, Pune
Engineering Graphics
Borders: Leave a minimum 10 mm space all aroundthe edges of the sheet.
Filing Margin: Leave at least 20 mm on the left side,including the border, for punching holes.
Grid Reference System: Used in industrial drawingsto locate specific areas easily.
The sheet is divided into equal sections:
Horizontal edges are numbered.
Vertical edges are labeled with capital letters.

1.5 Zoning
Vertical and horizontal zoning may be used if necessary to provide orientation to the field of
drawings. Zoning is mandatory for multi sheet drawings “D” size and larger and single-sheet
drawings “E” size and larger. Zones shall be identified by alphabetical (uppercase) and numerical
entries in the margin spaces as indicated in Figure 1. Zone sizes shall be 81⁄2 inches (width) by 11
inches (length) for “E” and “J” size, 7 inches (width) by 10 inches (length) for “F” size, and 51⁄2
inches (width) by 81⁄2 inches (length) for “D” size.

1.6 Types of line (IMP)
Engineering drawing is supposed to give complete information about the shape and size of the
o bjects like machine parts, buildings, etc. The shape of the object is conveyed through the
appearance of the drawing while the size description is expressed in the form of figured
dimensions and notes. The Bureau of Indian Standards has recommended various types of lines,
letters and dimensions to be used. This chapter introduces the standard practice for
configuration of lines to specify shape, letters for writing notes, dimensions to convey the size
and the correct way of their implementation.

2. Fix the drawing sheet on the drawing board.
3. Fix the mini-drafter in a convenient position.
4. Draw border lines using HB pencil..
5. Complete the title box using HB pencil .
6. Plan spacing of drawings b/n two problems/views beforehand.
7. Print the problem number on the left top and then commence the drawing work.
8. Keeping the drawing clean is a must
9. Never sharpen pencils over drawing.
10. Clean the pencil point with a soft cloth after sharpening.
F.Y. B. TechDESH Page No. 15 MMCOE, Pune

11. Keep drawing instruments clean.
12. Rest hands lightly on drawing tools to prevent smudging graphite
13. Darken lines top to bottom, left to right to avoid smudging.
14. Use a brush to remove eraser particles. Never use hands.
15. Always use appropriate drawing pencils.
1.9 Dimensioning
A drawingwithoutdimensionsismeaningless.Dimensionsarenecessarytoshowtheexactsize
o f an o bject. Dimensioning refers to the act o f giving dimensions, i.e., length, width, height,
diameter, etc., o f the o bject. This information is provided by giving numeric values to various
features o f the o bject o n the drawing. A feature is anindividualcharacteristicsuchasaflato r
cylindrical surface, a slot or a groove, a taper, a shoulder, a screw thread, etc.
BIS (SP 46: 2003) defines dimension as a numerical value expressed in appropriate units of
measurement and indicated graphically on technical drawings with lines, symbols and notes.
The important aspects of dimensioning are as follows:
Units of Measurement : On technical drawing we need to show lengths and angles. Themost
convenient unit for length is millimetre. In civil engineering and architectural drawing, inch o r
foot is often used as a unit of length. Angles are shown in degrees.
Symbols :Symbols are incorporated to indicate specificgeometry wherever necessary.
Notes : areprovidedtogivespecificationo faparticularfeatureo rtogivespecificinformation
necessary during the manufacturing of the object.
Dimensioning is often done by a set of elements, which includes extension lines, dimension lines,
leader lines, arrowheads and dimensions.

2. Dimension lines These are thin continuous lines that show the extent and direction o f the
dimension. They should be placed 8 to 10 mm away from the o utlines and should be placed
uniformly 6 to 8 mm from each o ther. The dimension values are placed preferably near the
middle of the dimension lines.
3. Projection lines These are the thin continuous lines stretched o ut from the o utlines for

ii. Angular dimensioning Angular dimensions and their deviations are dimensioned in the same
manner as that of linear dimensions. Figure(a) shows the recommended direction that has to be
used for writing the dimension values. In certain cases, dimension values may be written
horizontally as shown in Fig.(b), if this improves clarity.

1.10 Geometric dimensioning & tolerances (IMP)
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a system used in engineering and
manufacturing to define and communicate the allowable variation in the shape, o rientation,
location, and size o f a part. It's essential for ensuring that parts fit and function correctly in
assemblies—even when produced by different vendors or across different production batches.

Astheimageillustratesthecoreconceptso fGeometricDimensioningandTolerancing(GD&T).It
starts with the Specification, showing an ideal CAD model withperfectdimensions.Incontrast,
Reality reflects actual manufactured parts, which o ften have surface irregularities and
dimensional variations. GD&T bridges this gap using the Envelope Principle, ensuring parts fit
within a defined boundary to maintain functionality.
The Maximum Material Condition (MMC) represents the state with the most material (e.g.,
smallest hole), allowing for tighter fits and additional tolerance (bonus tolerance). The Least
MaterialCondition(LMC)reflectstheo pposite,wherestrengtho rclearancemattersmost.GD&T
helps ensure that even imperfect parts will assemble and function correctly, improving
consistency, reducing costs, and enabling effective quality control.
