why do we need to standardize lines & line weights?
why do we need to standardize lines & line weights?
Engineering drawings specify requirements of a component or assembly which can be complicated. Standards provide rules for their specification and interpretation. Standardization also aids internationalization, because people from different countries who speak different languages can read the same engineering drawing, and interpret it the same way.
Engineering drawing standards are provided by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). They have a 20-page document outlining the specifications for proper line weights and styles in technical drafting. If you want an in-depth look you can download that document here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-VeV6dxB4UbTizl-U9aq97WeYtW4QLCp
We're going to look at the basics. There will be more, including a quiz on line types, later in the semester.
