Meaning of Lines

Visible lines represent features that can be seen in the


current view

Hidden lines represent features that can not be seen in


the current view

Center line represents symmetry, path of motion, centers


of circles, axis of axisymmetrical parts

Dimension and Extension lines indicate the sizes and


location of features on a drawing
