 WHAT IS IT

TECHNICAL DRAWING & ALPHABET OF LINE

Based on the article of William Anderson of Schoolwork helper editorial team reviewed last
2019 he made mentioned that, technical drawings provide clear and accurate information
how an object is to be manufactured. It shows and describes clearly and accurately the
information required to build or manufacture a product.
Technical drawing is a form of design communication based online symbols recognized
and understood worldwide. Hence, technical drawing is often referred to as a universal
language understood (readable) by anyone regardless of the language they speak. Contractors,
estimators, tradesmen, and builders rely totally on technical drawings for the information they
need to build, construct and manufacture a product. To work in design and manufacturing
industries, the study of technical drawing –ability to prepare, read and interpret technical
drawing is essential.
Line symbols used in technical drawing are often referred to as ALPHABET OF LINES.
The use of line symbols enables engineers/designers to express features of designed products
clearly and accurately. Line features vary not only by width but also by how they are
graphically represented in a drawing. Line significance is conveyed by line weight or
thickness of the line. Every line is drawn at different thickness and darkness to express
contrast as well as importance. Lines that are less important are thin and light. Key to
successful drafting is to have a good technical knowledge of these various line
characteristics – to understand where and when to apply them in technical drawing.

ALPHABET OF LINE

1. OBJECT OR VISIBLE LINES – Thick dark line use to show outline of object,
visible edges, and surfaces.

2. CONSTRUCTION LINE – Very light and thin line use to construct layout work.

3. DIMENSION LINE – Thin and dark lines use to show the size (span) of an object
with a numeric value. Usually terminates with arrowheads or tick markings.

4. HIDDEN LINE – Short dash lines use to show nonvisible surfaces. Usually shows
as medium thickness.

5. CENTRE LINE – Long and short dash lines. Usually indicates centre of holes,
circles and arcs. Line is thin and dark.

6. EXTENSION LINE – Thin and dark line use to show the starting and ending of
dimension.

5
 7. CUTTING PLANE LINE – Extra thick line use to show cutaway views or plane of
projection where a section view is taken. Arrow indicates direction of view.

8. SHORT AND LONG BREAK LINES –Short and long medium line use to show
cutaway view of a long section.

9. LEADER LINE – Medium line with arrowhead to show notes or label for size or
special information about a feature.

10. PHANTOM LINE – Long line followed by two short dashes use to show alternate
position of a moving part.

11. SECTION LINE – Medium lines drawn at 45 degrees use to show interior view of
solid areas of cutting plane line.

Meaning and Uses of Technical Drawing

Technical Drawing is the art or skill of creating a plan as such that a person can
visualize and follow how it needs to be carried out. This is also known as Drafting and through
this process, instead of writing and/or explaining the process of how
something would be created or performed, the functions and features are explained with
the help of a drawing. The person who creates these drawings are known as a draughtsman,
draftsperson, or drafter and if the person is a professional, he or she is then known as a
drafting technician. Technical Drawing is most practiced by architects and engineers but is
also used by teachers, interior designers, product designers, construction workers,
plumbers, electricians, and pretty much anyone who builds or creates things. Even
programmers and app designers may use their own brand of technical drawing. Technical
drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the
drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of
measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout.

Basic Elements of a Flowchart
According to the post of Naveen Kandwal last18th January 2014 he discussed
that, a flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow
of the steps in a process. Another name for this tool is "flow diagram." A flowchart is
commonly used by systems analysts to visualize the series of processes in a business
system. It is a useful tool to design an efficient business system and to troubleshoot
or improve an existing system. It consists of elements, such as the terminator,
process, sub process, decision, arrow lines, and connectors.

1. Terminator- A terminator is represented by a small rectangle with curved

corners. It appears at the start and at the end of a flowchart. The end
terminator appears only once on a single flowchart.
2. Process- A process is represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a
business process. It must be described clearly and concisely. It can be

described using a single verb noun phrase; for example, "Order Office
Supplies." The same level of detail must be kept in processes on a single
flowchart.
3. Sub-process -A sub-process is represented by a rectangle with double lines

on each side. It is a major process that could be broken up into simpler

processes developed into another flowchart.

4. Decision- A decision is represented by a diamond. A process that can
answer
a decision of "yes" or "no" requires a decision box.
5. Connector- A connector is represented by a small circle or a connector box
and is labeled using letters. A flowchart written on a single page is clearer
than a flowchart on several pages. It ensures that the processes are
connected logically and correctly on several pages.
6. Arrow Lines -Arrow lines drawn in one direction, preferably from top to
bottom keep a flowchart clear. Avoid arrow lines that loop because this
could
indicate redundancy in the business process.

When to use flowcharts

At the beginning of your process improvement efforts, an as-is flowchart helps
your team and others involved in the process to understand how it currently
works. The team may find it helpful to compare this as-is flowchart with a diagram
of the way
the process is supposed to work. Later, the team will develop a flowchart of the
modified process again, to record how it functions. At some point, your team may
want to create an ideal flowchart to show how you would ultimately like the process
to be performed.
Benefits of Using Flowcharts
1. Promotes understanding of a process. People may have differing ideas about
how a process works. A flowchart can help you gain agreement about the
sequence of steps. Flowcharts promote understanding in a way that written
procedures cannot do. One good flowchart can replace pages of words.
2. Provides a tool for training employees. Because of the way they visually lay
out the sequence of process steps, flowcharts can be very helpful in training

employees to perform the process according to standardized procedures.

3. Identifies problem areas and opportunities for process improvement. Once
You break down the process steps and diagram them, problem areas
become more visible. It is easy to spot opportunities for simplifying and
 refining your process by analyzing decision points, redundant steps, and
rework loops.

Basic Flowchart Symbols

The symbols that are commonly used in flowcharts have specific meanings and
are connected by arrows indicating the flow from one step to another:

What is Flowchart?
The flowchart is a diagram which visually presents the flow of data
through processing systems. This means by seeing a flow chart one can know the
operations performed and the sequence of these
operations in a system. A flow chart can be used for representing an
algorithm.
Flowchart Symbols

There are 7 basic symbols commonly used in flowcharting of assembly

language Programs: Terminal, Process, input/output, Decision, Connector
and Predefined and Flow lines.

Symbol Name Function

Indicates any type of internal
1 Process operation inside the processor or
memory
Used for any Input/output (I/O)
2 Input/output operation. Indicates that the
computer is to obtain data or output

results
Used to ask a question that can be
3 Decision answered in a binary format
(Yes/No. True/False)

4 Connector Allows the flowchart to be drawn

without interesting lines or without a
reverse flow.

General Rules for Flowcharting

1. All boxes of the flowchart relate to Arrows. (Not lines)
2. Flowchart symbols have an entry point on the top of the symbol with
no other entry points. The exit point for all flowchart symbols is on the
bottom except for the Decision symbol.
3. The Decision symbol has two exit points; these can be on the sides or
the bottom and one side.
4. Generally a flowchart will flow from top to bottom. However, an upward flow

can be shown if it does not exceed 3 symbols.

5. Connectors are used to connect breaks in the flowchart. Examples are:
• From one page to another page.
• From the bottom of the page to the top of the same page.
 • An upward flow of more than 3 symbols
6. Subroutines and Interrupt programs have their own and independent
flowcharts.
7. All flow charts start with a Terminal or Predefined Process (for interrupt
programs or subroutines) symbol.
8. All flowcharts end with a terminal or a contentious loop.

Examples of Flowcharts
Example 1: Algorithm for find the greater number between two numbers.

Example 2: Flowchart for enlisting the work to do based on weather

condition.
