Selecting Views
Does an assembly drawing need a
FRONT, TOP and RIGHT SIDE view?
Sometimes
Needed 3 views to
locate all of the parts.
Sectional Views
Sectional views are used quite often when
drawing assemblies.
Why?
Assemblies often have parts fitting into or
overlapping other parts and we need to look
inside the assembly to see clearly.

Hidden Lines
Do we include hidden lines?
Usually
They should be used wherever necessary
for clearness.
They should be left off when they impair
clearness.
When a section view is used, hidden lines
should not be used in that view.
Dimensions
Do we include dimensions?
Usually not
As a rule, dimensions are not given on
assembly drawings.
If dimensions are given, they are limited to
some function of the object as a whole.
Identification
Ballooning: A part is located and
identified, in an assembly drawing, by
using a circle containing the part number
and a leader line that points to the
corresponding part.
Balloons
containing
part numbers.
