PART I
Machine Drawing
(AutoCAD)

INTRODUCTION
Format of Drawing Sheet & Title Block
Designation of sheet sizes

The original drawing should be made on the smallest sheet, permitting the necessary clarity and
resolution. The preferred sizes according to ISO-A series (First choice) of the drawing sheets are given in
Table 2.1. When sheets of greater length are needed, special elongated sizes (Second choice) are used
(Table 2.2). These sizes are obtained by extending the shorter sides of the format of the ISO- A series to
lengths that are multiples of the shorter sides of the chosen basic format.

Title Block: The title block should lie within the drawing space such that the location of it, containing the
identification of the drawing, is at the bottom right-hand corner. This must be followed, both for sheets
positioned horizontally or vertically (Fig. 2.2).
The direction of viewing of the title block should correspond in general with that of the drawing. The title
block can have a maximum length of 170 mm. Figure 2.3 shows a typical title block, providing the
following information:
i. Title of the drawing

ii. Sheet number
iii. Scale
iv. Symbol, denoting the method of projection
v. Name of the firm
vi. Initials of staff drawn, checked and approved.

AutoCAD commands:
Layouts: these can be accessed from the tab at the bottom of AutoCAD window (just above command
line).
● They show the drawings exactly as they'd appear in the printout (unless the printer is faulty)
when the Line Weight visibility is ON.
● Absolute scale can be adjusted by using Zoom command & entering scale factor as 1XP for
1:1 & so on…
● Title bar drawn in layout space in paper mode will keep its size fixed relative to the size of
sheet A4, A2 etc…
● To change paper size & other settings right click on layout name at the bottom & select
"Page Setup Manager" option.
Task - Create an AutoCAD Template:

Templates are files which save all the settings (of dimensioning, text, line type, color, line weight, Blocks,
layers, layouts etc...) that can speed up the drafting process of an engineer by avoiding unnecessary waste
of time.
Create a template for yourself with following settings.
1. Right click on layout name & Change the Printer/plotter & paper size as shown in the image
below.
2. Change other settings like layers, colors etc… suitably as required.
3. Save the file as a template in D drive with extension of .dwt (refer to the following images).
4. The next time you want to use the template, just open it from its location using windows explorer
by double clicking the template file from its location.
a. When you save your work it will ask you to save in a separate file with .dwg extension.
Trick:
Using template avoids unnecessary wastage of time spent on adjusting the settings & loading additional
objects. In the companies, the manager or team leader is given the responsibility to prepare the template
based on the conventions followed by the company. This ensures uniformity in the conventions followed.
Conventions of drawing lines and dimensions
Lines of different types and thicknesses are used for graphical representation of objects. The types of lines and
their applications are shown in Table 2.4. Typical applications of different types of lines are shown in Figs.
2.5 and 2.6.
AutoCAD commands:
Line Weight (LW): Use this command to control & adjust the visibility of thickness of lines. In model space
it will just be visible relative to screen & in layout space it will be absolute as it appears on the paper.
Follow below steps to change the weight of a particular object:
1. Select the objects for which line weight needs to be changed.
2. From the properties toolbar drop list select suitable value as
shown in diagram.
Lords Institute of Engineering Technology
Line Type (LT): Use this command to control the line style of 2D objects, Ex: hidden as dotted, axes as
chain dotted etc. First we
need to load the Line Types we would like to use in our file. Steps for that are as follows:
1. Press LT enter on keyboard to see loaded Line Types.
2. Click on the Load button & double click whichever line types you want to use. They will be
loaded.
3. Use the image on next page for reference.
Follow below steps to change the Line Weight of a particular object:

1. Select the objects for which line weight needs to be changed.
2. From the properties toolbar drop list select suitable value as shown in diagram.
Layers (LA):
Layers are used to control the visibility of objects and to assign properties such as Color, Line Weight
and Line Type. Objects on a layer normally assume the properties of that layer. However, you can
override any layer property of an object. For example, if an object’s color property is set to BYLAYER,
the object displays the color of that layer. If the object’s color is set to Red, the object displays as red,
regardless of the color assigned to that layer. It is RECOMMENDED that you use Layers method:
1. In Layers Properties dialog box create layers with suitable names.

2. Change the color, Line weight, Line type for each layer as per requirement.
3. Objects put in a particular layer will gain all the properties assigned to that layer.
4. To move objects to a particular layer:
a. Select the objects to be moved.
b. From Layers dropdown select the layer to which you want to move the objects.
c. Ensure that the properties of the object are set to "By Layer" or else the object will not
d. take up the properties from Layer.
Match properties command: To copy formatting of one object to others.

1. Press MA enter on keyboard.
2. Select the object with desired properties.
3. Select object you want to have the same desired properties.
The elements of dimensioning include the projection line, dimension line, leader line, dimension line
termination, the origin indication and the dimension itself. The various elements of dimensioning are
shown in Figs. 2.28 and 2.29. The following are some of the principles to be adopted during execution of
dimensioning:
Conventions:
1. Projection and dimension lines should be drawn as thin continuous lines.
2. Projection lines should extend slightly beyond the respective dimension lines.
3. Projection lines should be drawn perpendicular to the feature being dimensioned. Where
necessary, they may be drawn obliquely, but parallel to each other (Fig. 2.30). However, they
must be in contact with the feature.
4. Projection lines and dimension lines should not cross each other, unless it is unavoidable (Fig.
2.31).
5. A dimension line should be shown unbroken, even where the feature to which it refers, is shown
broken (Fig. 2.32).
6. A centre line or the outline of a part should not be used as a dimension line, but may be used in
place of projection line (Fig. 2.31).
Tip:
To speed up the drafting process draw some lines and apply the desired properties on them before saving
the template file. Then while drafting a design the same properties can be copied to other objects by using
Match Properties command.
Convention for sectional views.

The cutting plane(s) should be indicated by means of type H line. The cutting plane should be identified
by capital letters and the direction of viewing should be indicated by arrows. The section should be
indicated by the relevant designation (Fig. 2.15).
In principle, ribs, fasteners, shafts, spokes of wheels and the like are not cut in longitudinal sections and
therefore should not be hatched (Fig. 2.16).
Figure 2.17 represents sectioning in two parallel planes and Fig. 2.18, that of sectioning in three continuous planes.
1. Half Section: Symmetrical parts may be drawn, half in plain view and half in section (Fig 2.23).
2. Local Section: A local section may be drawn if half or full section is not convenient. The local
break may be shown by a continuous thin free hand line
3. Arrangement of successive sections: Successive sections may be placed separately, with

designations for both cutting planes and sections (Fig. 2.25) or may be arranged below the cutting
planes.
