Introduction: is a graphic representation of an object, or a part of it, and is the result of creative thought by an engineer or technician . Is One of the most widely used forms of graphic communication A graphical representation of an idea, concept or an entity which actually or potentially exists in life.

DRAWING Artistic Drawing Regardless of their complexity, artistic drawings are used to express the feelings, beliefs, philosophies, and ideas of the artist . does not contains dimensions, notes and specifications. Technical (Engineering) Drawing s A technical drawing is a means of clearly and concisely communicating all of the information necessary to transform an idea or a concept in to reality contains dimensions, notes and specifications. by Lami B 4

Engineering drawing is a two dimensional representation of three dimensional objects It is the graphic language from which a trained person can visualize objects. is called the universal language of engineers. In general, it provides necessary information about the shape , size , surface quality , material , manufacturing process , etc., of the object. by Lami B 6
Role of Engineering Drawing: by Lami B 7 The ability to read drawing is the most important requirement of all technical people in any profession. As compared to verbal or written description, this method is brief and more clear. The subject in general is designed to impart the following skills. Ability to read and prepare engineering drawings. Ability to make free - hand sketching of objects. Power to imagine, analyses and communicate, and Capacity to understand other subjects.
Some of the applications are: by Lami B 8 Machine drawing for mechanical engineers Building drawing for civil engineers Circuit diagrams for electrical and electronics engineers, Computer graphics for one and all.

THEORY OF PROJECTION by Lami B 17 The projection theory is used to graphically represent 3-D objects on 2-D media (paper, computer screen). The projection theory is based on two variables: Line of sight Plane of projection (image plane or picture plane) Line of sight (LOS) is an imaginary ray of light between an observer’s eye and an object.
by Lami B 18 There are 2 types of LOS : parallel and converge
by Lami B 19 Plane of projection is an imaginary flat plane on which the image is created. Type equation here.
by Lami B 20
by Lami B 21 perspective projection: The projection lines (visual rays) converge to a point. The image is larger or smaller than the real object. Perspective projection is not suitable for working drawing because a perspective view does not give exact size and shape
by Lami B 22 Pictorial Projection: The Projection in which the length, breadth (width) and height of an object is shown in one view is known as pictorial projection
by Lami B 23 Orthographic projection: The projecting lines are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection The resulting projection views are the same size and shape as the front surface of object This is the most applicable type of projection technique
by Lami B 24 Orthographic Projections is a technical drawing in which different views of an object are projected on different reference planes observing perpendicular to respective reference plane. Different Reference planes are: Horizontal Plane (HP) Vertical Plane (VP) Side or Profile Plane (PP) Different views are: Front View (FV) – Projected on VP Top View (TV) – Projected on HP Side View (SV) – Projected on PP
by Lami B 25 The most common means of understanding of orthographic projection is The Glass Box method .

First and Third Angle Projections FIRST ANGLE PROJECTION The object is assumed to be situated in the first quadrant. The object lies in between the observer and the plane of projection View from above (top view) is drawn below of front view View from left (left side view) is drawn on the right of front view View from right (right side view) is drawn on left of front view. THIRD ANGLE PROJECTION The object is assumed to be situated in the third quadrant The plane of projection lies in between the observer and the object View from above (top view) is drawn above of front view View from left (left side view) is drawn on the left of front view View from right (right side view) is drawn on right of front view by Lami B 27
