Historical Perspective : Importance of drawings

Prehistory : expressing ideas / feelings by

drawing on the walls of caves.
- (India: Idakul Caves, Kerala )

Scripts : writing through drawings.

- Mesopotamia, Pyramids, Harappa
Egyptian Writing
Chinese / Japanese writing
Harappa, Mohenjodaro
 Drawings
- Drawings become a vehicle of expression
for humans
- well planned cities could not have been
possible without drawings.

 Dimensions

1. Dimensions should be placed on the view which

shows the relevant features most clearly.
2. Dimensions marked in one view should not be
repeated in another view.
3. As for as possible, dimensions should be placed
out side the views.
4. Dimensions should be taken from
visible outlines, rather than hidden
lines.

5. Dimension should be given from a base

line, a center line of a hole or a finished
surface.

6. The crossing of dimension lines should

be avoided as far as possible.
Preferred Convention
- Alignment (vertical / horizontal)
- Arrows
Section / Hatching
Do not section ribs, shafts, screws etc
DO NOT ROTATE SECTIONS : DRAW AS IT IS
