Drawing & Design (Module 1)


Prepared for Quick Revision
Basics & Introduction

• Q: What is drawing?
A: A way of conveying ideas through
systematic lines on paper.
• Q: Differentiate between Artistic and
Engineering drawing.
A: Artistic: Created using imagination
(paintings, posters, ads).
Engineering: Graphical language of 3D objects
on 2D sheets with accurate details for
Elements & Standards

• Q: What are elements of engineering


drawing?
A: Shape, size, finish, material, construction.
• Q: What are standards in drawing?
A: Rules ensuring uniform representation so
all engineers interpret drawings the same (ISO
standards).
Drawing Instruments

• Q: Name basic drawing instruments.


A: Drawing board, sheets, mini-drafter, T-
square, compass, divider, scales, protractor,
French curves, pencils, eraser, duster, etc.
• Q: Which pencils are used?
A: 2H for drawing, H & HB for finishing.
• Q: Uses of T-square & Set-square?
A: T-square: Horizontal lines, guide for vertical
Paper & Layout

• Q: What is the standard paper layout?


A: Borders: 20mm left, 10mm other sides. Title
box included.
• Q: ISO Paper Sizes?
A: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4 (reduction by half
successively).
Lines

• Q: What are construction lines?


A: Thin, faint lines for guiding drawings.
• Q: Why are line types important?
A: Different lines (continuous, dashed, center
lines) convey different meanings.
Dimensioning

• Q: What is dimensioning?
A: Representation of size/measurements on
the drawing.
• Q: Types of dimensioning?
A: Size/Functional: Length, breadth, diameter.
Location/Datum: Exact positions of details.
• Q: What are the systems of dimensioning?
A: Aligned: Dimensions readable from
Scales

• Q: Why are scales used?


A: To enlarge/reduce object size to fit on
standard sheets.
• Q: What is Representative Factor (R.F)?
A: R.F = 1 → Full size (1:1)
R.F > 1 → Enlarging scale (X:1)
R.F < 1 → Reducing scale (1:X)
