Questions about the Drawing Line Types poster

What’s on the Drawing Line Types poster?

A 6-row table: Line · Style · Means. Style says what the line is; weight says which one wins. Visible outline — Thick continuous — An edge you can see; Hidden detail — Thin dashed — An edge behind material; Centre line — Thin chain — An axis or a symmetry line; Dimension and leader — Thin continuous — A measurement; Cutting plane — Thick chain — Where a section cuts; Phantom — Thin double dash — An alternative position. Where lines coincide the priority runs visible, then hidden, then centre. Draw only the winner.

Who is the Drawing Line Types poster for?

Drawing Line Types belongs to the Mechanical Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning cad & drawing can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Drawing Line Types poster?

Reading or setting up a drawing, where every line style says something. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Drawing Line Types belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
