General Objectives
The general objectives of Engineering Drawing
are:
1. To develop the ability to express ideas and
describe objects by means of drawing
2. To interpret norm and symbols used in
engineering drawing and in daily life
3. To develop skills in lettering and hand drawing
using traditional drawing equipment
4. To read and understand simple drawing

Purpose of Section Views
Clarify the views by
reducing or eliminating the hidden lines.
revealing the cross sectional’s shape.
Facilitate the dimensioning.
EXAMPLE :
Without section view, too many hidden line and hidden object
can not be dimensioned.
7
With section view, hidden objects are revealed and
dimensioning is possible.
8
Terminology and common practices
Cutting Plane
Cutting plane is a plane that imaginarily cuts
the object to reveal the internal features.
Cutting
plane Cutting plane line
Section lines
9
Cutting Plane Line
Cutting plane line is an edge view of the cutting plane.
Indicate the path of cutting plane

Section Lining
Section lines or cross-hatch lines are used to indicate the
surfaces that are cut by the cutting plane.
Section
lines
Drawn with 2H pencil.
12
Section Lining Practice
The spaces between lines may vary from 1.5 mm for small
sections to 3 mm for large sections.
COMMON MISTAKE
13
It should not be drawn parallel or perpendicular to contour of
the view.
COMMON MISTAKE

Kind Of Sections
1. Full section
2. Offset section
3. Half section
4. Broken-out section
5. Revolved section (aligned section)
6. Removed section (detailed section)
Full Section View
The view is made by passing the straight cutting plane completely
through the part.
15
Offset Section View
The view is made by passing the bended cutting plane completely
through the part.
16
Half Section View
The view is made by passing the cutting plane halfway
through an object and remove a quarter of it.
A center line is used to separate the sectioned half from the
unsectioned half of the view.
Hidden line is omitted in unsection half of the view.
17
Broken-Out Section View
The view is made by passing the cutting plane normal to the
viewing direction and removing the portion of an object in front of
it.
A break line is used to separate the
sectioned portion from the unsectioned
portion of the view.
Break line is a thin continuous line (4H) and is
drawn freehand.
There is no cutting plane line.
18
Example : Comparison among several section techniques
Revolved Section View
Revolved sections show cross-sectional features of
a part.
No need for additional orthographic views.
This section is especially helpful when a cross-
section varies.
19
20
Removed Section View
Removed section is revolved section.
Section view is shown outside the view.
Used where space does not enough for revolved section
Can be located elsewhere on a drawing with properly
labeled
21
Dimensioning in Section View
In most cases, dimensioning of the section views
follows the typical rules of dimensioning.
22
For a half-section view, use dimension line with
only one arrowhead t hat points to the position
inside the sectioned portion.

23
Conventional Practice in Section View
Omit the section lines on the section view of:
Rib, Web and Lug, if the cutting plane is
passed flatwise through.
Spoke, if the cutting plane is passed longwise
through.
EXAMPLE : Rib

Aligned Section
Aligned Section Is A Section View That Is Drawn By
Imaginary Rotating The Object’s Features Appeared In A
Principal View About Symmetry Axis

Conventional Break
For long objects that have to draw in a small scale to fit
them on the paper, it is recommended to remove its
long portion (which contains no important information)
and draw the break lines at the broken ends.
