COMMON LINE TYPES (page 5)

1. Continuous Thick (0.5mm) TYPE A

2. Continuous Thin (0.25mm) TYPE B

3. Dashed Thin (0.25mm) TYPE E

4. Chain Thin (0.25mm) TYPE F

Lines

Leader Lines To show where dimensions or notes

apply. Always end in arrowheads or dots.

Arrowheads touch and stop on a line Dots should be within the outline of the

object. Long or intersecting leader lines

should not be used.

General Points on Drafting Arrows:

Triangular and Solid Length = 3 x width Arrows on Dimensions -> 3-5mm Long Arrows showing direction of view -> 7-

10mm Long Text Height = Not less than 3mm. Underlining of text is not recommended. Notes of a general character to be

grouped together.

SECTIONS AND SECTIONAL VIEWS

(page 12 BS308)

Hatching is Drawn with Type B (Continuous Thin) Lines, equally spaced at 45º.

Preferably not less than 4mm Apart With very small parts, never less than

1mm On adjacent parts, alternate the

direction of Hatching. Correct Section Line – Type F (Chain

Thin)
