What are the three views that you will most likely see an orthographic drawing projected?
Front, top, right side
Describe a pictorial drawing question.
A drawing that is presented as it appears to the eye. It is easier to visualize an object if its features can be shown in a single view. Typically does not contain any construction details.
What are the three types of pictorial drawings?
Isometric, oblique, perspective
How can you identify a isometric view?
The object will be tilted so that all three planes from the same angle. This is the most common type of technical drawing. (30° by 60°)
How can you identify an oblique drawing?
An object is drawn from the front view but you can see the top and the side as well. (45°)
How can you identify a perspective drawing?
A perspective drawing is drawn using a vanishing point.
Describe extension lines.
Thin, unbroken line. Used to indicate extent of dimensions.
Describe visible lines.
