Definition of Straight line: A straight line is the shortest distance between two points. -Top views of two end points of a straight line, when joined, give the top view of the straight line. -Front views of the two end points of a straight line, when joined, give the front view of the straight line.
- Position of Straight Line in space can be fixed by various combinations of data like distance of its end points from reference planes, inclinations of the line with the reference planes, distance between end projectors of the line etc.
Inclination of True Length of Line with V.P.: It is denoted by . e.g. Inclination of the line with V.P. is given as 40 means that = 40. Inclination of Front View Length with XY : It is denoted by . e.g. Inclination of the Front View of the line with XY is given as 50 means that = 50. Inclination of Top View Length with XY : It is denoted by . e.g. Inclination of the Top View of the line with XY is given as 30 means that = 30. End Projector Distance: It is the distance between two projectors passing through end points of F.V. & T.V. measured parallel to XY line.

TRACES OF A LINE
Definition: When a line is inclined to a plane, it will meet that plane, produced if necessary. The point where the line or line produced meets the plane is called trace. Horizontal Trace: The point of intersection of the inclined line with the H.P. is called Horizontal Trace or simply H.T. Vertical Trace: The point of intersection of the inclined line with the V.P. is called Vertical Trace or simply V.T.

- If a line is inclined to both H.P. & V.P. then its Top view, v and H.T. must be on the same straight line.
e.g. if Top View of a line AB is ab, then v, a, b and H.T. must be on a same straight line.
