Text on Drawings Text on engineering drawing is used : To communicate non-graphic information. As a substitute for graphic information, in those instance where text can communicate the needed information more clearly and quickly. Uniformity - size - line thickness Legibility - shape - space between letters and words Thus, it must be written with

Example Placement of the text on drawing-This course Drawings & Dimensions Drawing No.:(C1 or HW1) Scale:1:1 Dimensions in (mm) Submission Date : ?/?/2008 Offset-10 mm Student Name: Student ID: Class : University of Palestine College of Engineering &Urban Planning First Level

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. Use only a vertical Gothic text style. Use both capital and lower-case letters. Same. For letters in title block it is recommend to use 3~5 mm text height N/A. Follows ANSI rule.

Word Composition Look at the same word having different spacing between letters. JIRAPONG J IGORNPA Which one is easier to read ? A) Non-uniform spacing B) Uniform spacing
32
Word Composition JIRAPONG \ /\ / \ | )( ) | ( | Space between the letters depends on the contour of the letters at an adjacent side. Spacing Contour |||| General conclusions are: Good spacing creates approximately equal background area between letters.

1. Straight - Straight 2. Straight - Curve 3. Straight - Slant 4. Curve - Curve Space between Letters
34
6. Slant - Slant5. Curve - Slant 7. The letter “L” and “T” ≡ slant ≡ straight Space between Letters
35
GOOD Not uniform in style. Not uniform in height. Not uniformly vertical or inclined. Not uniform in thickness of stroke. Area between letters not uniform. Area between words not uniform. Example : Good and Poor Lettering
36
Leave the space between words equal to the space requires for writing a letter “O”. Example Sentence Composition ALLDIMENSIONS ARE IN MILLIMETERS O O O O UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED. O
