AIRBUS A380
Details: largest passenger jet. 80m wingspan and a tail that stands as high
as a seven-storey building, carries more than 550 passengers.
It would just be impossible to communicate all
necessary details about the LCA/ Airbus A380
verbally or in writing – Illustration
(picture/drawing) is useful.
Example
Instrument drawing
Instruments are used to draw straight lines, circles, and
curves concisely and accurately. Thus, the drawings are
usually made to scale.
Example
Computer drawing
The drawings are usually made by commercial software
such as AutoCAD, solid works etc.
Example
Elements of Engineering Drawing
Engineering drawing are made up of graphics language
and word language.
Graphics
language
Describe a shape
(mainly).
Word
language
Describe size, location and
specification of the object.
Basic Knowledge for Drafting

Drawing Scales
Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follow
T- square
Standard sizes of drawing sheets as per BIS
A2 size
Layout of drawing sheets
• Standard form of arrangement
• Important particulars are included
• Facilitate quick reading of important particulars – quick
references are located easily – drawings are prepared at
various locations and shared

Drawing Pencils
Each feature is
dimensioned
and positioned
where its
shape shows.
Size dimensions – give the size of the component.
Solid:
Every solid has three dimensions,each of the geometric
shapes making up the object must have its height,
width, and depth indicated in the dimensioning.
Basic geometric shapes used in drawing
Prism – most common shape
requires three dimensions -
give two dimensions on the
principal view and one
dimension on the other
views.
Cylinder
Cone – requires
two dimensions –
diameter of the base
and altitude on the
same view and
length – both are
shown preferably on
the rectangular view.
Right pyramids –
requires three
dimensions –
dimensions of the
base and altitude.
Spheres – requires
only one dimension – diameter.
Location dimensioning
After the basic geometric shapes have been
dimensioned for size, the location of each relative to the
others must be given.
Locations must be established in height, width and
depth directions.
Rectangular faces are positioned with reference to
their faces, cylinder and conic shapes with reference to
their center lines and their ends.
Size and Location dimensioning
Terminology for dimensioning practice
Dimension – numerical
value that defines
the size or geometric
characteristics of a
feature – size 3.5 mm
and space between
lines of text 1.5 mm.
Dimensions showing the
sizes of features, such
as width, height and
depths of the parts and
the diameter of the hole
