PROJECTIONS
AND
ISOMETRIC
DRAWING
Introduction
Orthographic view shows only two dimensions in
any particular view. This makes it difficult to
interpret them and only technically trained person
can interpret the meaning of these orthographic
views.
A non-technical person Can not imagine the shape
of the object from orthographic projections.
Whereas, pictorial projections can be easily
understood even by persons Without any technical
training because such views show all the three
Dimensions Of an object in the same view.
But pictorial view does not show the true shape
and size of any principal surface of An object and
it does not show the hidden portions.
Pictorial projections are easy to imagine so these
are used in sales literature.
Principle of Projection :
Pictorial Projection :
The projection in which the length , height
And depth are shown in one view is
called Pictorial Projection.

Isometric Axes :
The three lines CB,CD and CG meeting at the point
C and making angle of 120 degree with each other
are called isometric axes.
Isometric lines:
The lines parallel to isometric axes are called
isometric lines.
Isometric planes:
The planes represented by faces of cube are called
isometric planes.
Similarly any planes parallel to these planes are also
called isometric planes.
Isometric drawing or isometric view:
The pictorial view drawn with true scale is called
Isometric drawing or isometric view.
Isometric projection:
The pictorial view drawn with the use of isometric
scale is called Isometric projection.

Note 1:- The machine component is splitted
into four different parts, for its iso.
sketching, with bottom base part as first
drawn.
Note 2:-The circularity or part of that of
Ortho.View, is to be drawn in Iso view as an
ellipse or part of that using four center
method,as explained earlier.
Note 3:- Such components may be drawn in
iso., by area (plane)wise w.r.t F.V, T.V &
S.V directions. Never prefer box method
for such components.
