Drafting Techniques
WVEIS Code 1727
This course will introduce students to techniques used in advanced orthographic projection,
including dimensioning, sectioning, auxiliary views, revolutions, pattern development and
advanced CAD.
Standard 1: Apply proper sectioning techniques to fully describe the interior of an object
on a drawing. (1727.S.1)
Proper Sectioning Techniques Objectives
Students will:
1727.1.1 Describe the purpose of a cutting plane and cutting plane line, and properly draw them.
1727.1.2 Draw various ANSI standard section lines used for general sections, steel, concrete, etc.
1727.1.3 Describe the differences between a full, half, revolved, aligned, offset, removed and broken out
sections, and use sectioning techniques to complete drawings.
Standard 2: Identify and construct pictorial views. (1727.S.2)
Pictorial Views Objectives
Students will:
1727.2.1 Construct oblique and isometric drawings, including exploded and sectional views.
1727.2.2 Apply standard, horizontal and reverse axes in isometric drawings.
1727.2.3 Draw non-isometric lines, circles arcs, and curved lines.
Standard 3: Draw primary and secondary auxiliary views and revolutions. (1727.S.3)
Auxiliary Views and Revolutions Objectives
Students will:
1727.3.1 Demonstrate knowledge of primary auxiliary views.
1727.3.2 Draw secondary auxiliary views and explain their use.
1727.3.3 Demonstrate knowledge of revolutions and their use.
Standard 4: Apply descriptive geometry techniques to solve graphical problems.
(1727.S.4)
Geometry Techniques Objectives
Students will:
1727.4.1 Determine the true length of a line, true view of a plane and the true angle between two planes.
1727.4.2 Determine the intersection between lines, planes, and surfaces.
Standard 5: Use proper techniques to draw patterns and developments. (1727.S.5)
Patterns and Developments Objectives
Students will:
1727.5.1 Develop rectangular prisms, cylinders, pyramids and cones.
1727.5.2 Demonstrate knowledge of transition pieces.
1727.5.3 Apply development techniques to shop patterns.

Standard 6: Apply the rules of dimensioning to dimension drawings, using architectural,
engineering and metric measurements. (1727.S.6)
Rules of Dimensioning Objectives
Students will:
1727.6.1 Layout, measure and construct lines with the architectural, engineering and metric scales.
1727.6.2 Describe and apply unidirectional and aligned systems of dimensioning.
1727.6.3 Apply standard dimensioning techniques for a hole, countersink, counter bore and knurling.
1727.6.4 Properly dimension axonometric drawings.
Standard 7: Use computer assisted drafting to produce drawings, demonstrating the
ability to customize a CAD system. (1727.S.7)
Computer Assisted Drafting Objectives
Students will:
1727.7.1 Create and use various prototype drawings using custom developed line types, hatch patterns
and text styles.
1727.7.2 Modify CAD menu to perform additional and/or new operations.
1727.7.3 Demonstrate the ability to modify operating system files to facilitate CAD operations and load
and run a lisp routine.
