Working drawings, 3 marks

In first-angle projection, where is the plan drawn?

  1. Directly above the front elevation
  2. Anywhere, as long as it is labelled
  3. Directly below the front elevation
Show the answer

Directly below the front elevation

In first-angle projection the plan goes under the elevation and the end view beside it, all lined up so sizes can be projected between the views. Third-angle puts the plan above.

A drawing is marked Scale 1:2. What does this mean?

  1. Only half of the object is drawn
  2. The drawing is half the real size
  3. The drawing is twice the real size
Show the answer

The drawing is half the real size

At 1:2, 1 mm on the drawing stands for 2 mm on the real object, so the drawing is half size. 1:1 is full size and 2:1 is twice full size. Dimensions always give real sizes.
