Composition of Graphic Language
The language is known as or “drafting” .
A drawing can be done using freehand, instruments
or computer methods.
Example
Computer drawing
The drawings are usually made by commercial software such as AutoCAD, BIM etc.

Lettering
Text on Drawings
Text on engineering drawing is used :
To communicate nongraphic information.
As a substitute for graphic information, in those instance where text can communicate the needed information more clearly and quickly.
Example Placement of the text on drawing
Lettering Standard
ANSI Standard This course
Use a Gothic text style, either inclined or vertical. Use all capital letters.
Use 3 mm for most text height.
Space between lines of text is at least 1/3 of text height.
Basic Strokes
Examples : Application of basic stroke
Upper-case letters & Numerals
Straight line letters
Curved line letters
Curved line letters & Numerals
Lower-case letters
The text’ s body height is about 2/3 the height of a capital letter.
