Chapter Overview
Chapter 2 is designed to present definitions of
terms and geometric constructions of importance
in technical drawing, suggest simplified methods
of construction, point out practical applications,
and afford opportunity for practice in accurate
instrumental drawing.
Drafters who sketch solutions before placing lines
on paper can often complete a drawing sooner
and with fewer errors than those who cannot
sketch effectively.

Learning Objectives
Describe the importance of engineering geometry
in the design process.
List the major categories of geometric entities.
To construct basic sketching with instrument, Tsquare and triangles.
List and describe surface geometric forms.
Describe engineering applications of geometry.

Learning Outcomes
Students are required to understand the different
types of lines.
Students should able to draw a regular triangle,
square, hexagon and octagon.
To be able to divide a space into equal parts;
divide an angle in half; divide a line into equal
parts.

Types of Lines
Guideline:

Note: All lines & printing to be of uniform high density. The softest
possible grade of pencil should be used at all times.

Types of Lines
Guideline:
Lines should be sharp & dense.
Thick line should be from 2 3
times the thickness of thin line.

Note: All lines & printing to be of uniform high density. The softest
possible grade of pencil should be used at all times.

Types of Lines
Center line:
1. Centre line should project for a short
distance from the outline to which they
refer.
2. To permit dimensioning, they may be
extended as dimension line.
3. Centre line should not intersect in the
space between dashes.

Types of Lines
Hidden line:
Line depicts hidden details
should always begin and end
with a dash in contact with
the visible or hidden detail
line at start or end.
But except for a dash that
form a continuation of a
visible detail line.
Dash should join at corners.
Arcs should start with dashes
at the tangent points.
