2. British Standards
The British standard is an agreed way of doing something.
Benefits
Everyone understands
Consistency in all drawings
Same symbols
The British standard is an agreed way of doing something. If everyone follows the standard everyone will be able to understand what is happening.
Can they give an example of British Standards that they already know about in Graphic Communication?
British Standards can apply to Safety, the Environment and in our case drawings.
If we draw to British Standards people throughout the world will be able to understand and read our drawings

3. Line Types Construction Outline Hidden Centre Folding Cutting Plane
Ask students to draw their interpretation of the lines onto the board. Bring up a student to draw each one on the board.

4. Line Types Construction Outline Hidden Centre Folding Cutting Plane
Explain the importance of line types and how we need them to be able to explain to us the shape.

14. Dimensioning Sketch the drawing below.
Dimension the drawing using British Standards.
Students should apply the British standards shown to this sketch. They can then come up and do it on the board.
