Introduction to dimensioning and its necessity,
method and principles (theoretical instructions)

➢ The process of writing or giving measurements of an object on a


prepared drawing with the help of extended lines, dimension
lines and arrow heads is known as “Dimensioning”.

➢ The dimension lines and the extended lines should be thinner as


compared to object lines.

➢ The extended lines should start leaving a clearance of 1 or 2 mm


from the object lines.

➢ Dimension lines should be drawn at least 8 mm away from the


outlines and from each other
