 Meaning of Lines

Visible lines represent features that can be seen in the

current view

Hidden lines represent features that can not be seen in

the current view

Center line represents symmetry, path of motion, centers

of circles, axis of axisymmetrical parts

Dimension and Extension lines indicate the sizes and

location of features on a drawing
