2 Section 2 Print Reading Basics

3 Unit 8 Reading Scales and Dimensioning Drawings
Learning Objectives Scale dimensions from a print. Read dimensions on a print. Add and subtract dimensions. Identify the items that should be dimensioned on different drawing types. Learning Objective are listed on page 99 of the text.

4 Dimension Lines Dimension and extension lines were discussed in the Lines and Symbols portion of Unit 4. Discussed on page 99 of the text.

5 Drawing Scale Construction projects are drawn to a reduced scale.
Common scale types used Architect’s Scale 1/4" = 1'-0" Every 1/4" on a drawing equals 1 foot of actual length on the project. 1/8" = 1'-0" or 1 ½" = 1'-0" Engineer’s Scale A 10 scale means that every 1" on a drawing equals 10' in reality. Metric Scale 1:50 scale Introduced on page 100 of the text.

6 Architect’s Scale 1/16" and 1/32"
Types of Scales Architect’s Scale Engineer’s Scale Architect’s Scale 1" and 1/8" Image may be found on page 100 of the text. Architect’s Scale 1/16" and 1/32"

7 Architect’s Scale Tick marks Smallest tick mark Scale 3/32" 3" 3/16"
1/8" 1/4" 3/8" 3/4" 1/2" 1" 1 ½" 3" 3" 2" 1" ½" ¼" ⅛" 1/16" Tick marks Presented on page 100 of the text.

8 Identify the smallest tick marks.
Architect’s Scale Identify the smallest tick marks. 2" 1" ½" ⅛"

9 Architect’s Scale Identify the smallest tick marks. ½" ¼" 1" 2"

10 Reading an Architect’s Scale
2' 1 inch 4' 1 inch 2' 2 inches 2 inches 16'

11 Reading an Architect’s Scale
2' - 4" 20'-6"

12 Reading an Architect’s Scale
2' - 8½"

13 Reading an Architect’s Scale
3'-8" 5 5/8"

14 Reading an Engineer’s Scale
50 feet 100 feet 1 inch 1 inch 10 feet

15 Reading a Metric Scale 2 meters 10 meters

16 How to Scale a Line The scale is 1½" = 1'.
Line up on the closest foot marking that still allows the line to trail into the fraction of a foot area. 2'-10" 12" in scale 0 mark

17 How to Scale a Line The scale is ½" = 1'.
Line up on the closest foot marking that still allows the line to trail into the fraction of a foot area. 8'-5½" 12" in scale 0 mark

18 Engineer’s Scale Scales:
1" = 10' (may also be 100', 1000', or even 10,000') 1" = 20' 1" = 30' 1" = 40' 1" = 50' 1" = 60' Presented on page 101 of the text.

19 How to Scale a Line The scale is ¾" = 1'.
Line up on the closest foot mark that still allows the line to trail into the fraction of a foot area. Is this correct?

20 How to Scale a Line The scale is ¾" = 1'.
Line up on the closest foot mark that still allows the line to trail into the fraction of a foot area. 6'-11½" 12" in scale 0 mark

21 How to Scale a Line with an Engineer’s Scale
The scale is 1" = 40'. 164'

22 Adding and Subtracting Dimensions
Find the missing dimension. 24'-3" 5'-6" 3'-1" ? 5'-6" + 3'-1" = 8'-7" Introduced on page 106 of the text. 24'-3" - 8'-7" 23'-15" - 8'-7" 15'-8"
