⦿DEFINITION
⦿ISOMETRIC AXES
⦿DIMENSIONING
⦿DRAWING OF A SIMPLE SHAPED
BLOCK ISOMETRICALLY.
An isometric drawing can be defined as a form of pictorial
drawing which inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal
is plane
⦿ Tee square
⦿ Set square
⦿ Rules
⦿ French curves
⦿ Etc
⦿ A simple solid is a firm object having
length, width and height.
⦿ It has three principal dimensions enclosed
by surfaces.
⦿ Examples of simple geometrical solids are:
⦿ Triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons,
prisms, pyramids, cones, spheres and
other solids such as tetrahedron,
hexahedron, octahedron etc
⦿ NOTE: CHECK Pg.23 EVANS BASIC
TECH FORJSS BK.3
⦿ An axis is the imaginary line that joins
the centre of the ends of regular solid

Isometric drawing is built around the isometric axes as shown
below
⦿ This is the selection of correct
measurment, the lettering and the
positioning of the dimensions on a drawing.
⦿ Types of dimensioning:
⦿ Chain dimensioning
⦿ Datum dimensioning
⦿ Dimensioning are placed outside the
outline of the views
⦿ Extension or projection lines are used
to indicate the length to be
dimensioned.
⦿ They are written above a horizontal lines
and on the left of vertical lines.
⦿ It should be spaced on the drawing.
⦿ Semi circles and arcs are dimensions
using their radius, R=50
⦿ Do not use centre lines and outlines
as dimension lines.
⦿ Circles are dimensioned by their
diameters with symbol Ø.
⦿ Never repeat dimensions on other views.

⦿ How many axes are found on
isometric drawing? Mention them.
⦿ List any three essential points to note
when dimensioning.

in your note.
