Effectiveness of Graphics Language

  • Try to write a description of this object.
  • Test your written description by having someone attempt to make a sketch from your description.


You can easily understand that …


Composition of Graphic Language


The language is known as or    “drafting” .

A drawing can be done using    freehand,    instruments

or    computer    methods.




Example


Computer drawing

The drawings are usually made by commercial software such as AutoCAD, BIM etc.

Lettering

Text on Drawings

Text on engineering drawing is used :

To communicate nongraphic information.

As a substitute for graphic information, in those instance where text can communicate the needed information more clearly and quickly.

Example    Placement of the text on drawing


Lettering Standard

ANSI Standard    This course

Use a Gothic text style, either inclined or vertical. Use all capital letters.

Use 3 mm for most text height.

Space between lines of text is at least 1/3 of text height.

Basic Strokes


Examples : Application of basic stroke

Upper-case letters & Numerals

Straight line letters

Curved line letters

Curved line letters & Numerals

Lower-case letters


The text’ s body height is about 2/3 the height of a capital letter.
