ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Instructions: Show all projection lines wherever present. Neatness will be rewarded and untidiness
will be penalized.

1. Consider the below view shown in aligned system of dimensioning. Redraw it in a scale of 3:2 and
place all the scaled dimensions using unidirectional system. Follow all the standards of line types and
spacings while redrawing the view. All dimension are in mm. [6]

2. Match the columns for the line types and their applications. Note: The below functional relationship
between line types and their applications could be one-to-many or many-to-one as well. [4]

(i) Outlines (1) Thin Continuous Lines
(ii) Hidden Edges (2) Continuous Thin Straight Lines with Zigzags
(iii) Dimension Lines (3) Thin Chain Lines
(iv) Extension Lines (4) Thick Continuous Lines
(v) Locus of a point (5) Continuous Thin Freehand Wavy Lines
(vi) Cutting Planes (6) Phantom Lines
(vii) Partial Views (7) Thin Chain Lines with thick ends
(viii) Center Lines (8) Thin Dashed Lines
(9) Thick Chain Lines

3. Fill in the blanks from the following list of words: 1. Above; 2. Below; 3. Front; 4. Left; 5. Object;
6. Orthographic; 7. Observer; 8. Right; 9. Projectors; 10. Plane; 11. Side; 12. Top. Note: One entry
can be placed at several places. [6]

(a) In projection, the are perpendicular to the of projection.

(b) In first-angle projection method,
i. the comes between the and the .
ii. the view is always the view.
(c) In third-angle projection method,
i. the comes between the and the .
ii. the view is always the view.

4. A point is 50 mm from both the reference planes (HP and VP). Draw its projections (FV and TV) in
all possible positions. [8]

5. Line AB is 75 mm long and makes 45◦ inclination with VP while its FV makes 55◦ . The end A is 10
mm above HP and 15 mm in front of VP. If the line is in the 1st quadrant, draw its projections and
find its true inclination with HP. Obtain the apparent angle of orientation of TV, Length of TV, and
Length of FV as well. [8+4]

6. Draw the projections (FV and TV) of a regular hexagon of 30 mm side, having one of its side in the
HP and inclined at 60◦ to the VP. The surface is making an angle of 45◦ with the HP. Assume that the
plane is placed in the first-quadrant. [7+7]
