DIMENSIONING.
‘maybe placedwithinthe view, unlessthe drawingbecomes very
clear by doing so, for example, the dimension line which
indicates 35mm as shown in Fig.5,2. The dimension lines
should be placed atleast 10mm away from the outline and all
other parallel dimension lines should be placed atleast amm
part, or more ifthe space permits: For example, in Fig.5.2 the
distance between the outline and the frst dimension line is
10mm, and the distance between the first dimension line and the
second dimension line is &mm.
Projection or Extension Line
‘A projection or anextension line, isa thin continuous line
‘of Type, Table 3.2, Page 14, drawn without leavinga gap from
the outline to be dimensioned as shown in Fig.5.1, 5.2, and 5.3,
Itisdrawn perpendiculartothe outline which stobedimensioned
as shown in Fig.5.1 and 5.2, where necessary, however, it may
bbe drawn obliquely, but parallel to each other as shown in
Fig.5.3. The projection lines should extend slightly beyond the
dimension line.
Construction Line
‘A construction line isa thin continuous line of Type B,
Table 3.2, Page 14, drawn to indicate the dimension line. The
Construction lines are extended slightly beyond the point of
intersection as shown in Fig. 54
Arrowheads
‘Arrowheads are used to terminate a dimension line. Its
recommended that the barbs ofthe arrowhead form an included
angle of minimum of 15° or more to produce an. arrowhead of
length at least three times the width as shown in Fig.5.5 A. The
arrowheads may be open as shown in Fig.5.5B, or closed as
shown in Fig.5.5C, or closed and illed in as shown in Fig. 5.50.
(Open type of arrowheads are suitable for pencil drawings while
closed and filled in ones are suitable for ink drawings.
